The author's name was <a href="http://www.melissa-stewart.com/video/videos_mini.html">Melissa Stewart</a>, and she is a nonfiction author. She has written over 180 books! She shared with us about the writing process, and that making a book takes a lot of time, effort, and collaboration. We are looking forward to reading her next book, which will be released in June!<br />
<br />
Here are fun facts that Melissa Stewart shared with us:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Frogs can jump 20 times their body length</li>
<li>The average human tongue is 4 inches long, if we were frogs, our tongues would be long enough to clean out our belly buttons!! </li>
<li>There are types of tree frogs that do not live in trees, they live in bushes</li>
<li>It took her 10 years to write one of her books (No Monkeys, No Chocolate)</li>
</ul>

To show some of what they have learned, the students created Green Screen Videos to share information about the ecosystem they have been researching about. This small group project required them to collaborate with partners and use a variety of 21st Century skills to communicate their learning to others. Below you will find links to check out the culmination of all their hard work and efforts!<br />
<br />
Three cheers for our 2nd graders :)<br />

The students brainstormed ideas about what materials they could use for creating their trap with our 5th grade STEAM buddies. Then they had to problem solve, and possibly redesign their traps, if those materials were not available. They were all very creative! We even left a some in the classroom to see if we could get lucky enough to catch one over the weekend.<br />

One thing that we can all agree on is that resolutions, no matter how big or small, require some work. We spent all of last week working hard on writing resolutions as well as creating a fun "craftivitiy" to display our thinking around this topic. Take a peek at what we were able to accomplish!<br />

We began the day with building our background knowledge about <u>who</u> the Pilgrims were and <u>how</u> they came to be on the Mayflower ship. We had a lengthy discussion about <u>what</u> it must have been like for the Pilgrims to take such a long journey, as well as what they would have needed/ been able to bring with them.<br />
<br />
Next, we shifted gears a bit and thought about what the word Capacity means. We tied this knowledge back to the Mayflower's capacity to carry the Pilgrims across the ocean, and the fact that over 100 Pilgrims and sailors were on the Mayflower traveling for about 9 weeks. This lead to a great discussion about how a ship's structure impacts the ship's ability to float and carry heavy loads.<br />
<br />
At this point students were presented with the challenge of creating a ship in small groups, that would have the largest capacity and still function properly to get the Pilgrims across the ocean. Of course there were constraints on materials and time, so each group had to work as a team and create the best ship possible with what they had. It was a great day and every group was successful in creating a ship that had a capacity to hold over 100 pennies!<br />
<br />
All of the groups will be presenting their designs and discussing what went well, what was challenging, and what they would do differently next time tomorrow morning! <br />

Over the past couple of weeks we have been learning about insect life cycles! It has been fascinating finding out about the changes that these creatures go through during metamorphosis.<br />
<br />
To go along with this learning, we have been lucky enough to get real live Ladybug larvae and caterpillars!!<br />
<br />
Also, we received a letter from Eddie the Entomologist, and he is going to be checking back in on our learning with Mystery Bug Letters! Eddie will give us clues about the bugs that he is studying and we will try to guess which insect he is describing. As we learn more about insects, we will be adding the bugs to our own "bug jar".<br />
<br />
Here is a peek at what we have been seeing!<br />

Mrs. Elwell shared a wonderful read aloud with our class to kick off our Second Grade year in Library! She was also so kind as to spend a few hours of her own time walking the beach and collecting perfect painting rocks for us to make an artistic connection to the story.<br />

We spent a full week discussing what our room should look, sound and feel like when we are all working to read independently or reading with a buddy. Each day we have been practicing those expectations, and we are getting better everyday!!<br />

Over the course of this school year we will be doing a great deal of learning and growing together in our classroom and beyond. This blog will be our window into the "Stupendous" things that we will be doing and learning about each week. It is my hope that we will create many posts, with a plethora of photographs and captions, to show and tell about all of our experiences in Second Grade!<br />
<br />
I know that we all thrive on feedback, so please feel free to add comments and questions for the kids to reflect on and respond to!Mrs. Charltrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13597864040390943078noreply@blogger.com0
