Mrs. Hessling's 2nd grade class participated in shared writing time. Students wrote monster stories and displayed their creativity by creating matching monster puppets. Great job everyone.
Mrs. Taylor's 2nd grade class worked with Project Explore-an initiative of The NC Arboretum.
Students were busy learning about their project and identifying bird characteristics.
It was a cold day for bird watching! Mrs. Taylor's class listened for birds and they were able to spot 2 blue jays.
The class will continue to learn more about the birds of Western NC; they will use the charts throughout the year to ID birds.
The class plans on logging data about the birds they observe to help scientists; they will be doing this weekly.
Thank you to the NC Arboretum's Science Educator, Ms. Kristen, for visiting Mrs. Taylor's 2nd grade class today.
