So many students have been inspired by learning about the moon, earth, and sun. They were drawing, making posters, writing poems, and singing songs. It was clear. They wanted to create something special..so they did!
For the past few weeks, these scientists have been using what they know about Earth and Sky to teach each other about 4 phases of the moon. Their only directions were that everyone had to have a part and they had to teach about four phases of the moon.
After working together, learning about team work, and lots of reflection and practice, the teams have created outstanding representations of their learning and talents. Let me just stress the fact that all ideas (down to writing scripts, project ideas, and drawing settings on the white board) were totally planned by our second graders.
Please enjoy these videos! (and get your autograph books ready...)
Please ask your child: what questions or compliments did s/he hear from classmates after their performance, what was the hardest thing about her/his projects, what was the best thing about the team's work, how did you create your project, .... etc!
