This week, 2nd/3rd grade continued to delve into the idea of Beauty. We shared our experiences with the Fibonacci numbers over the last week. Some students made some incredible discoveries last week! After some rich discussion, we then practiced sparking our curiosity with images of mysterious natural phenomena. Students used these inspiring natural mysteries to launch a mini research project about a phenomena of their choice. Next week, we will continue this mini project and touch on some research skills.

Our 2nd and 3rd grade class has been so busy, it has been tricky for me to find times to take photos. However, I have no doubt that this will improve as students continue to develop independence in their work and confidence in their resources. Thank you for bearing with us!

Our GATE classroom has nine Chromebooks available to share, which means that 2nd and 3rd grade students (not from Lowell) do not need to bring a personal device or school-issued device for the First Quarter. However, students are welcome to bring a device to GATE if they are more comfortable doing so.
