Field Day!

Field day had to be inside this year because of rain, but that didn't stop us from having a lot of fun together! 

Motion and Maps

We have been exploring motion in science and math! The second graders have been using marbles, cardboard tubes, blocks, and measuring tapes to explore and observe how they can get marbles moving without pushing them. They've come up with theories about what causes marbles to move further or faster and are testing them now and collecting data. Today we explored with wheels (discs) and axles(straws).This has been a ton of fun and we've learned a few things too!

We have been learning about the continents. Below are photos of kids making relief maps.

Hinesburg Rocks!

We painted our rocks for the Hinesburg Rocks project today. Your children were very thoughtful with the designing and decorating of their rocks. Their kind words and pictures will be sure to bring a smile when their rocks are spotted around Hinesburg! We plan on placing them around town as a class during the week of May 15th.

Paper Mountains

The students built a model of a mountain and used it to discover an important principle about how rivers work. Ask your child to tell you more about it!

Making Glue!

Has your child told you about the glue that he/she has made? In our latest science unit the students have become glue engineers and have been learning about and experimenting with the best ingredients to use to make glue. 

Tent Reading!

February was "I Love to Read Month!" To celebrate we spent time reading in forts with flashlights. It was so much fun!
