Mrs. Wright's
2nd Grade

Welcome! We have been learning about government, the need for rules and laws, and positive citizenship. Our PBL projects were designed to answer the question: "How can I become a good citizen?" Throughout the process of answering this question, students learned about positive citizenship from an authentic expert. Kim Learnard, candidate for mayor of Peachtree City, spoke to our second grade classes about ways to be a good citizen in their school community as well as the community beyond. Additionally, students created their own communities in our STEM lab. Lastly, students practiced good citizenship by cleaning up after themselves and others, and taking pride in their school. Students demonstrated what they learned and answered the driving question through skits, songs, and storyboard comics.

HOW to use I Like, I Wish, I Wonder ProtocolExpress your thoughts and feedback to your child in sentences that begin with I Like, I Wish, I Wonder. Share all or your likes first, then wishes, and finally wonders.
Some EXAMPLES of how to use the protocol to give students feedback on their process: “I like how you described the use of technology to research new ideas.”“I wish that you would have included more information about possible answers to the driving question.”“I wonder how you could have included coding your project?
