Mix It Up Day

Mix It Up Day was a HUGE success again this year!  We had a SUPER discussion during the Tootsie Pop Lesson about giving others a chance.  Eating lunch with new people provided us the perfect opportunity to put this lesson into practice.  A great BIG thank you to Mrs. Diemler!

Problem Solving

Mrs. Bergman, the WGSD Math Coordinator, worked with us during Math Workshop this morning to solve the problem: How Many Whoppers in the Jar?  The curiosity of our young mathematicians led them to ask great questions, which helped them in solving this multi-step problem! @wgsdmath

How can you overcome the effects of gravity?

The second grade students worked in small groups to make parachutes using tissues/coffee filters, string/yarn, tape, and paperclips. We then tested our parachutes for the best air resistance, which we're learning slows down the pull of gravity.
