Pueblo Pottery

We are making clay pots and symbols to place on our pots like the Pueblos.  Each child has made a pinch pot so far.  We had to practice several times so that we had a plan before we begun to paint the actual pottery.

I WONDER ?

The second grade has been adding their "I Wonders?"  to this bulletin board in our second grade hallway.  The yellow sticky is the "I Wonder?" and the pink sticky is the answer.  Teachers and peers are answering the questions.

JAPANESE GARDEN PROJECT

Our class began sketching our plants for our field guide project.

We had to study our plants closely.

Each student focused on one part of their plant.

This was our first time sketching our plant.

Each student chose one plant to research and they will become the expert on their particular plant.

All of us worked very hard on our sketches.

SAFARI PARK FIELD TRIP

We enjoyed feeding the small goats grass.  They loved us!

We are llamas!

We are getting ready to go on the wagon through the Safari Park.

We loved hopping around the park!

We saw a joey with his mom in the green grass.

Mrs. Shellenberger with a few students in the Bird House.

Our Trip to the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden

 Our tour guide gave each of us a piece of cotton to feel.  A lot of our clothes are made from cotton.

Here we were able to plant carrot seeds.  We dug a hole with our finger and then placed the seeds in and covered them up with soil.

We tasted the lettuce in the garden. 

This is a stick sculpture made by Patrick Daugherty called "Diamonds in the Rough".

Goslings were following their mother into the water.

We drew on paper using flowers!

MATTER DAY

We enjoyed Matter Day!  We made slime, ooblek, and watched many substances make physical and chemical changes.  We also learned that not everything we experimented with was safe for us to eat.  The popcorn and pudding were fun and great to taste.  In our experiments we watched substances change from a liquid to a solid and then to a gas.

 As we performed our experiments we noticed if the mass or volume changed.

Many of use loved playing with the slime.  We started with a liquid then as we added the other indgredients it changed to a solid.
