"Wild" Learning with Harkins & Lankford

"Wild" Learning with Harkins & Lankford on PhotoPeach Lots of learning going on in Room 204! Fluency Monday is always a fun activity to help students strengthen their fluency and pace while reading. During Reader’s Workshop, students are allowed to read books of their choice! We learned about living together in our neighborhoods in Social Studies. In Science Workshop this week we did a lab on what will happen to the popcorn kernel when heat comes in contact with it? We used our 5 senses to record what we noticed. Did you know that Friday was the 19th day of school? Wow! Time flies when you are having fun! Enjoy the slideshow!

Science Workshop in Room 204!

Science Workshop on PhotoPeach What is the practice of Science? What is a Scientist? How do we work as Scientists? What are the steps of the Scientific Method? So many questions…and we will find the answers through our observations during our Science Workshops. Last week we learned to use our five senses to make observations. Our sense of taste was not used for this task. Each week we will use our Interactive Science Notebook/Journal to draw and write about our observations. At the end of this lesson we were able to describe and discuss what a Scientist does. Enjoy the slideshow!

A visit from first graders!

We had the opportunity to invite first grade students to our classroom. We showed them different parts of our day and expectations! It was a great experience for our second graders and the first graders!

The Human Body

2nd Grade Study of the Human Body! on PhotoPeach Our study of the Human Body was great! The students were totally engaged throughout our study. Did you know that our skeleton gives our body shape and protects our organs? Did you know that our lungs belong to our respiratory system? Yes! We learned some interesting facts about our Human Body. Are you a right brain or left brain thinker? Ask you student to share which thinker they are. Enjoy the slide show.
