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.

Science: Simple Machines In science class the students have been learning about the six types of simple machines: screw, lever, inclined plane, wedge, wheel and axle, and pulley. After learning about inclined planes, the students were given the challenge to create an inclined plane so that a car at the top of a box could travel down the ramp and continue rolling.                               First the students discussed what classroom materials to use to create the inclined plane. Next, they got to work making their ramps and made sure that the car successfully traveled down the ramp. Finally, the students demonstrated how well the inclined planes worked and we measured how far each car traveled. ___________________________________________________________________________ St. Nicholas Day On December 6th, there was much excitement as students left their shoes in t...
