Mythology Overview

Second grader Jessica J. created an informative power point presentation for her class on Greek Gods and Goddesses. She shared clip art pictures of different gods and explained what they represented. We all appreciated her hard work and enjoyed her interesting lesson.

Monster Exchange

All of the Second Grade students participated in a descriptive writing activity that involved them drawing a monster on the computer and then writing a clear, concise description of their monster to share with a friend.  The girls exchanged their descriptions and tried to re-create their friends' monster.  Each classroom voted for their "favorite" monsters and twenty were chosen from the second grade (click on the Smilebox below to view those that were selected).  These twenty monsters are being shared with a class in Illinois that we are paired with through a collaborative online project.  We will soon try to replicate the other classes' monsters and they will try to copy ours.  This would be a fun activity to do at home with a sibling, neighbor or friend describing something new or even an everyday object from around the house!
