Fantastic Fridays give us a chance to explore some student led learning. This student shared a presentation about stuffed toys called House Monsters. Students listened carefully and asked questions about what he shared. Asking and answering questions is a second grade standard.
Another Fantastic Friday in second grade! Whether it’s morning STEM bins, making lunch choices, doing puzzles or practicing spelling words, we are always having fun!
Ms. Ryan’s lesson this week taught students how to solve a conflict. She created a conflict scenario and they helped her solve it. She made the lesson fun and engaging by appealing to their silly sides. It was such a memorable lesson for these students. They love Ms. Ryan!
Before the snow on Wednesday night, we had a few days of beautiful weather. Students were sad when it was time to come inside after recess. Play is good for the mind, body and soul!
Mr. Peak came to Garfield today to talk to second and third graders about digital citizenship and online safety. Mrs. Tierney’s students were very excited for him to come and talked a lot about eBay they learned the rest of the day.
Working hard on IXL. We love to use our flexible seating options!
Lunch bunch 🥰
Fraction Time!!

These second graders were having fun with Mrs. Russell at dismissal!
More pairs of students working hard to code their robots to move through the halls. As they learn more about coding they will face obstacle courses with their robots. Some students even decided to try to race their robots. It was a fun STEM activity.
In STEM Mrs. Tierney’s students were introduced to Botley the coding robot. We learned about what coding was and students first practiced by ‘coding’ their teacher. They led her across the classroom carpet, one square at a time to reach the goal. They did great!
Students in Ms. Vaughn’s class learned if you touch the plasma ball, all of the electrons will go through you to the ground. Science is cool!
Students in Ms. Vaughn’s class learned about all things electrical this week. They experienced if you touch the plasma ball, all of the electrons will go through you to the ground.
Here are some more of Mrs. Tierney’s students who created snowflake designs using geo boards after learning about symmetry, snowflakes, and what makes snow white. This activity was so much fun!
Today’s science lesson in Mrs. Tierney’s class taught us why snow is white. We learned about snowflakes and how they are all unique. We also learned about symmetry. Students then used geo boards to make their own snowflakes.
Students worked in pairs to write code that would make Botley move through the hallways. They even made him dance!
Students in Ms. Vaughn’s class learned if you touch the plasma ball, all of the electrons will go through you to the ground. This was so exciting!
Check out these great designs! These snowflakes were created after learning about symmetry, snowflakes and what makes snow look white.
Fun at the park!
