Using new technology

Taking tests is more fun for both students and teachers when we use our new clickers.  This new technology is a student response system that allows the students to answer test questions using a remote to record their answers.

Learning about Weather Tools in the Outdoor Classroom

Here are some pictures of the students investigating weather measurement tools.  We are also enjoying a beautiful day in the outdoor classroom.  Some of the tools you will see in the pictures are the rain gauge, anomommeter, and a weather vane.

Goods Fair 2011

The students had so much fun selling and buying the products that they had produced themselves.  What a great way to end our unit on people in the marketplace.  Here are some of the images from the 2-3 Marketplace.  To see a video featuring clips from our second grade fair go to the main page of our website.
