Last week was Election Day and our class participated in a class election. Mrs. Platt’s class voted between Tootsie Roll Pop or Fruit Snacks. Tootsie Roll Pops won by one Vote. It was a close race. The students got to enjoy a Tootsie Roll Pop that afternoon. Discussing the election with the students and having them experience it in class was fun.

STEM

This week in STEM

This week 2nd grade learned about rivers. They learned where they come from, where they end, and why it is that they flow instead of standing still like lakes and ponds. To learn all this information about rivers, students build their own landform model out of paper. They then made it rain on their land to see how rivers, lakes, and ponds are formed.

This week 1st grade had a visitor from our local optometrist, Dr. Wagers. She came and spoke with first grade about how our eyes work and how they use light. The students enjoyed seeing the items that Dr. Wagers brought. Students were full of questions. They now have a better understanding of how the eye uses light as part of our Lights and Sound unit.
