Week of March 10 2nd and 3rd Grade

Third graders continued to build  on their math skills as they completed the next lesson in Hands-On-Equations.  Second graders worked on math Venn Perplexors. Both grades worked on a logic matrix puzzle called "Favorite Bicycles" and a word picture puzzle.

Students read about the Montgolfier brothers and the birth of the Hot Air Balloon.  They watched an activity demonstrating how hot air causes things to rise. 

Students learned about some of the early pioneers in flight like Otto Lilienthal and  Clement Ader.  They studied glider flight movement and directional vocabulary and practiced "flying" out side. Students were introduced to the Wright Brothers and watched a short video on the flight at Kitty Hawk.

Thank you,

Mrs. Verduci, Mrs. Bullard, Mrs. Lindsley, and Mrs. Goldstein
