Social Studies and Science

Seek and you will find! Our class has been deep in research as we explore the cultures of our ancestors. Second graders are always amazed to discover their family roots. This is a great way to learn about geography and customs around the world.

In the story we learned that there are modern day pilgrims who move to new countries to live freely. We continue to talk about immigration and accepting and celebrating differences. At morning meeting, we're learning to greet each other in different languages.

The ancestor dolls came out great! Thank you to Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Mac for helping out!

Today we enjoyed a visit from Jupiter Judy. She works for a company called High Touch High Tech. One of our science units is about plants. We'll study about them more in the spring. Today we learned how plants pull water up through their roots (capillary action) and how plants make food (chlorophyll) we even learned about a plant's baby, (embryo).
