Final Animal Project Day

This has been such a busy 6 weeks as we worked hard to become experts about the animals we chose to study.  Today all of the hard work came to a close with a second grade project party! In addition reports, some students chose to make projects at home; here are their projects:

 And here is the party!

One of the projects was a puppet show :  check it out!

A visit from a scientist

Hi everyone!
We were so lucky this week to have a visit from Dr. Metz, biologist, rainforest visitor, and parent!
She showed us amazing pictures and videos from the tropical rainforest and the kids had good questions to ask and ideas to share.  She also makes great monkey sounds! They are really excited about creating projects this week because of this visit.  Thanks again!

interesting insects

a caterpillar that looks like a snake?  wow

Parade Day

Here are a few pictures from our Duniway parade! So much fun!

The ocean biome

This week your young scientists researched and created projects to help them understand and show their understanding of the ocean!  Enjoy some pictures of their wonderful projects!

A gift from us to you, our fabulous volunteers

To all of you who have helped in so many ways this year - you have made a huge difference for the kids in our class - enjoy

Art Night Open House

It was wonderful to see so many of you last night - here is the stop motion movie we premiered!  We made this movie with the help of an artist in residence - graciously paid for by the Duniway PTA and Arts Committee!  Enjoy!

Biomes of the world - young environmentalists

Hi everyone!
This has been a busy few weeks as we continue to learn more about the habitats of the world.
We have explored temperate forests, wetlands, polar regions and this week, grasslands.  Each week we research (read, write, speak, view, draw) about the habitat, then we create projects to show what we have learned, then we show our projects to others.  At the same time, we are also working hard to write a multi paragraph report project about our chosen animal.  Your children are amazing - so full of great ideas to share with each other.  Here are a few pictures of sharing grassland projects with a fourth grade class.

Have a great weekend!
