2nd Grade - Nov 8
2nd Grade - Nov 8
Today the 2nd graders got to dive into the minds of spiders! After connecting over our daily discussion questions (listed below), the students rotated through graffiti stations where they answered questions about abstract art and spider books using both words and pictures. This "graffiti" was put up in the hallway and discussed to summarize the class' thoughts about the artistic intentions of spiders.
Next, we read the book Be Nice to Spiders, created instructional spider web flow maps, and built fun spider web art to take home. Next week, we will dive into the minds and intentions of artists!

A Special Note

Some of the district's other pull out GATE programs serve higher-need communities and aren't able to secure many funds for their programs due to the nature of voluntary donation systems. These teachers regularly pay for project supplies out of their own pockets. If you feel led to donate, please consider blessing these deserving students and teachers by giving to their programs. A few Lowell families donated to these programs last year, and they made a huge difference! Lowell family donations were actually the ONLY donations Garfield received last year. Thank you so much!
The programs most in need are [GARFIELD/GATE/TUCKER,KATIE], [PIERCEPARK/GATE/ALEXANDER,LEONA], and [MOUNTAINVIEW/GATE/WELLER,LYNNETTE]
