This Week in 2nd Grade

Math
This week in math we discussed symmetry. We used paper shapes to help us find the lines of symmetry. This led quite nicely into fractions, which we will be talking about in greater detail next week

Gym
Gym class was held outside to help us prepare for track and field day.

Dissection
We have been studying the eye and how it works. At the very end of our unit, the students had the unique opportunity of dissecting a sheep's eye. Thank you to Mrs. Tennant who is our specialist in this area and was able to help us with the dissection.

We were able to feel individual parts of the eye. Here a student feels how hard the lens actually is.

Another student gets to experience the flexibility of the pupil as Mrs. Tennant puts it over her finger.


We listen intently, engage in conversation, and ask questions to help us learn even more!

Writing
We did a writing project this week called "Buzzing About 2nd Grade." We wrote about our many memories and made these bees to go along with our writings.
