On our adventure students hiked the trails at Frater Lake and had fun playing in the snow.  Second grade students sharpened the saw working together, encouraging each other to keep going and physically showing perseverance when the hike felt long! What a fun day!

We started a new Expedition module looking at how plants grow and survive.  Students will grow as researchers as they work together to discover the stages of a plant and  how pollination plays a role in how plants grow.

Students did great singing and showing off their musical instruments during our Christmas program!  

In Expedition students have started to study fossils and changes in our earth over time.  To kick off the study our 2nd grade students went on an Adventure in Republic and had the opportunity to dig for fossils.  They worked hard  and found some amazing treasures!

On our first adventure students "sharpened the saw" by hiking and biking.  As we set off on these adventures we want students to challenge themselves, set goals and reflect on how they are using the seven habits of a CREW leader.  What a fun day... students really showed perseverance  and team work as they encouraged one another on the bike ride and refused to give up on the steep part of the hike!

This year we are starting a new 2nd grade math program called Bridges.  The kids started off the first module looking at data collection, venn diagrams, picture graphs and bar graphs and creating bettle glyphs.  Students also worked with a number rack to meet our math learning target: I can fluently add and subtract numbers to 20.  

Students worked on challenging themselves during our recent Wild Walls Adventure in Spoakne. Second grade students had the opportunity to rock climb; they had fun, persevered, and cheered each other on!

We had a blast on our 2nd grade adventure this month!  Students practiced team work, collaboration, perseverance, and responsibility on our latest adventure.  We build snow forts, went snow shoeing, played snow tug-of-war and had a terrific time sledding!             

Thank you so much for making it out to the Math Game Family Night.  Each classroom hosted spatial reasoning games and activities.  Our classroom hosted Engineering with marshmallows and toothpicks!  We had some amazing and creative creations!

Students work with their Lab team as they explore the tools of a paleontologist and excavate dinosaur bones during our Explore Lab.
