Learning about Simple Machines

In science we are learning about simple machines that make our lives easier. We are learning about levers, inclined planes, wedges, wheels and axles, pullies
and screws.   Although we are reading books about them and drawing charts, it helps our understanding when we see these machines in use.  Please help your child find these machines around your house and in their daily lives


Dancing with our right-brain artist Suba

Second graders are learning to dance with their whole bodies with instruction from Suba, our right-brain artist in residence.   We have learned how hands are very important in telling a story.

Technology

Second graders have been learning how to use our school set of iPads on Fridays.  Mrs. Wilkerson visits our classroom to teach us how to use apps that will help us demonstrate what we are learning.
