Grade 2

In our last IB unit of the school year "Sharing the Planet", second grade studied rocks and how the changes on earth such as volcanic eruption, weathering and erosion, and heat and pressure in the our earths core lead to formation of various rocks that make up our earth . Students went on a trip to the Musuem of Natural History to further experience the wonder of rocks/minerals/ and gems in our world.  

We collaborated with Ms. Antunovic to bring the world of science and art together. Second graders collected rocks and brought them from home and have been creating beautiful works of art with them. Students are thinking about all the ways rocks can be useful as well as how they can bring beauty to our environments. 

In social studies, students have been thinking about how Maps help us navigate and understand our environments. We learned about how maps not only help us find our way but how maps have been adapted from being hand drawn on paper to becoming available digitally. Students use their map knowledge to create floor maps of OWNCS. 

One highlight was our field day at Socceroof. Students shared a space and worked together to utilize their skills learned during their physical education classes and put them to practice in fun and stimulating ways.
