Exploring Air & Weather

For the past few weeks, the Second and Third graders have been sharing the non-fiction books they've written. It is so interesting to listen to their books on a wide variety of topics, from paper to summer, penguins to cats. While the Third Graders have been busy studying and learning about rocks and minerals, the Second Graders have been studying air and weather. They made pinwheels and kites and brought them outside to explore how air moves. What a fun day!


We brought our anemometer outside, an instrument to measure wind speed.

As a class, we read Chocolate Fever. We had a fun time predicting what Henry Green would do next. After reading, each student made their own "fever" book. Do you have Video Game Fever, Doughnut Fever, Ice Cream Fever, TV Fever, or Starburst Fever?
Kelli was the Star of the Week. Below is her acrostic poem!
Kaitlyn was the Virtual Field Trip Planner. She took us on a trip to a farm in China.
