Second Grade students have been learning about Cycles in Nature during their Knowledge Block.  To celebrate the completion of the unit, each student was involved in researching an animal's life cycle and producing a creative project to showcase their learning.  Students chose from a variety of project ideas and created flip books, life cycle wheels, accordion books, or mini-books.  The learning, creativity, and enthusiasm for this project was amazing!

To conclude our unit of study, The Human Body, first grade students did many creative activities. They made skeletons and labeled various bones. They discovered the smallest bone is in the ear and our longest bone is the femur. 

Students made hand x-rays to understand how our skeletal bones and joints help our body move. Class presentations were held to demonstrate the 5 systems in the body (Nervous, Skeletal, Muscular, Digestive, and Circulatory). We learned SO MUCH!

Rea View Second Graders visited Huckleberry Creek in Monroe.  While we were there, we learned about what life was like in the late 1800's during the Westward Expansion.  Huckleberry Creek personnel did a great job replicating a western town and explaining what everyday life was like.  Students rotated through five stations where they learned about jobs, leisure time activities, and trading.  They enjoyed seeing the general store, jail, saloon, barbershop, bank, and the tailor's shop.  This field trip will connect to one of our upcoming Knowledge units about Westward Expansion.  The students also connected many of the things they learned with our Knowledge units on Tall Tales and Early Asian Civilizations.  

The third grade students at Rea View have been working on becoming effective communicators and skilled collaborators while completing team-building activities.  These skills have improved their ability to solve problems as they engineered different red solo cup challenges and built 2D and 3D shapes with marshmallows and toothpicks.  They also completed the "Twizzlers Tie Up" Challenge and tried "Saving Fred."  We look forward to including more activities and projects throughout the year!
