Compassion Project!!

I just got off the phone with World Vision!!  They were super thankful and thought it was amazing what these 7 and 8 year olds accomplished.  With our one time donation of 83$ we were able to support 3 families with two chickens each.  The 8$ extra dollars will go towards feed for the chickens.  She will share our story with those in the office and our class will be recognized.  I will get a card soon as well with pictures to share.   Yay!  We are reaching out and helping others instead of thinking of ourselves!  Now let's go share and spread the giving spirit!!  Way to go Realers!!

Compassion Project

After a week of hard work, the kids totaled a whopping $82.65 for their Compassion Project.  This was more than I've ever seen for this project in the 4 years that I've done it.  The stories the students shared will touch your heart.  Most giving up play time, or things they wanted.  How amazing is that!!!

Passing it on!!

These are things I want you to think about.

Cow Eye Dissection Lab

We did it!!  In an effort to increase interest in Science and truly practice using our Science tools we dissected a cow's eye.  In addition we learned how closely it resembles the human eye and how our eye works to send messages to the brain.  So much took place in just this one lesson today.  We taught and used our non fiction text features, took notes on a diagram and used our Science observation skills.  Goodness, what a great day!

You can see here, the diagrams we used and how we practiced taking notes.  I feel like I'm back in college, but wait it's just Second Grade at JTSD.  

After I dissected parts of the eye, we passed them around on plates, so the students could actually use all of their senses to gain a better understanding of what we were doing.



No Fear!!  We've got this!






This is me, touching the best lens from the eye that I've ever gotten out of the four years I've done this.  It was AWESOME!  We used the lens to magnify a piece of writing.  Super cool!


Here we are cutting into the Cornea.  Super cool to see!

And, this is the before picture.  The eye just by itself.

Nature vs Engineering Talk

Check out these kids talking about Science.  (Next time I'll post a video, but this time you'll have to imagine) It's amazing to hear how they think.  Today they had to really learn to discuss and agree or disagree in an appropriate manner.  I was blown away at their politeness  and respect for one another as we discussed Nature vs. Engineering.  Students are learning how to work together as they are learning and discovering.  Super cool!!
