After learning about the Grand Canyon in STEAM, students designed their own winding canyon paths with wiki stix. They then drew pictures of animals and plants that would be seen in the canyon and worked with a partner to send a traveler (bead) along the path.

Wow, wow, wow! South students and families are really on the right reading path this week! We have now read 5,400 books/chapters this month! Students are choosing to read during free choice time! Our teachers are also engaging our students in cross-curricular learning with math, art and science projects to show what they've learned about the wilderness! All reading logs must be turned in by Friday March 22nd at 11:00 am! We hope to reach our goal of 10,000 books/chapters read!

Second graders learned about weathering and erosion using magic tracks! They placed buttons, beads, and blocks on their "rivers" and then watched as their balls (water) moved the items with each roll. They drew before and after pictures to document how their rivers changed.
