We have been so busy learning in 2B that I have forgotten to post!
Weather PBL:
We have been learning about all of the different tools that meteorologists use to forecast the weather. They have been getting into their PBL groups, researching on PebbleGo or another credible source, and then creating the tools. It have truly enjoyed seeing all of their creativity shine. One of the things I love most about PBL is seeing them collaborate, communicate and critical think as a group. As a class, we have had several conversations about how sometimes working as a team may be difficult, but it teaches us to compromise. Ask your child the weather cycle song they learned. Hopefully it WILL get stuck in your head like it did ours! The learners' will begin learning about clouds this week as well. :)

The Weather Cycle Song
Weather travels in a cycle yes it does,
Weather travels in a cycle yes it does,
It goes up evaporation,
Forms a cloud that's condensation,
Comes back down precipitation...
YES IT DOES!

Below are some videos I took today! We took the weather vanes they constructed and watched them in action! Some groups had more luck with their stabilization than others.
Popcorn Adjectives:
Another focus we have been discussing is using adjectives (describing words) in our writing. We did a fun (Ok, boring word--enjoyable, pleasant, lively) time coming up with adjectives to describe our yummy popcorn!

I have no idea why the pictures are uploading sideways. Bummer!
Thank you so much for your constant support and for sharing your adorable children with me.
