VR: 2nd and 5th Graders Partnered Up to Learn About the Moon

Our class set up VR of the moon for Mrs. Lancaster's 2nd grade class and we all learned so much about the moon's surface, travel to the moon, and the Space Race!

Christmas Celebrations: Party, PJ Day, and Sing-a-Long

Finalizing Projects

Students put finishing touches on their projects to prepare for presentation day; there were so many different ways students chose to create in order to show their new learning!

Classification PBL: Our First Project!

Students formed groups based on their interests and we have a group researching deforestation, global warming effects on animals, poaching, bees dying, crossbreeding, and shelter animals.  This week we are finalizing their level three driving questions, creating supporting questions, and beginning the research phase.  All information is on each group's project overview Google Doc.

Hands on Learning: VR and Manipulatives

This week we used VR to visit earthquake sites and learned about fault lines.  We also used math manipulatives to build background knowledge about multiplying decimals.

Levee Lab

Students learned so much today through our levee lab!  They constructed their own towns and levee and had to observe if their town survived all three phases of the flood.  Only one town temporarily made it but would eventually flood once the dirt soaked up water.  We were super excited to be able to type up our lab report and take pictures for our data throughout the lab with the new Wi-Fi in the garden!
