Social Studies

January 15 marked the birth dates of two very important people: Cornelia Connelly and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The Second Graders discussed how these two individuals worked hard to make the world a better place. Each student then thought of a way that he/she can make a world a better place, wrote that idea on a paper hand, and placed it on his/her drawing of the world. How important it is to realize that we can all make a difference!


Whale Project


After reading about whales, the students worked with a partner to research a particular
whale. The partners then created a presentation to share their information with their classmates.
