Science in Action--Earth Day Projects

Earth Day Projects

The 2nd grade created Reduce, Reuse, Recycle wheels that gave examples of items that can be put in the recycling bin at home and at school!

Earth Day activities 1st Grade.  Students created Earth Day Hats with the reduce, reuse, recycle logo.  1st and 2nd graders discussed what we each can do to make the earth a better place.

We do a Science Experiment a week in 1st and 2nd Grade!  Here the 1st grade students are working on the experiment, Constructing with Solids.  The challenge activity was to build a tower with two cups, two cardboard squares, a straw, two rubber bands, a craft stick and a sheet of aluminum foil.  Let's see what the boys and girls in 1st grade constructed.

It takes a lot of thought to build a tower!  

Success!

 Gabrielle is explaining to the class how she built her tower.

Ms. Recendez reviewing our concepts and key vocabulary for the science challenge.

2nd Grade Science Experiment

Sorting and categorizing rocks, in the unit, Pebbles, Sand and Silt.  The 2nd graders are given six different types of rocks and they must categorize them in size and color.  We also drew what we observed and listed the properties of the rocks in our science journals.

Lifecycles of the Monarch Butterfly!

Learning in the outdoor garden.  Ms. Kelly Dingman donated the milkweed plants and the monarch caterpillars to our classroom to study.  Thank you so much Ms. Kelly!  

Can you see the tiny caterpillar?

I love when they hang upside down!

They eat holes in the leaves!

We actually watched a butterfly emerge from the chrysalis this week!

Can you see the tiny egg or larva?

They eat so much they strip the leaves!

This plant hardly has any leaves left!

School Experience Survey

Students who bring their survey in will be invited to attend a dance party hosted by our very own DJ, music teacher, Mr. Thompson!

I set up the site on LAUSD Links at School Experience Survey and you will be taken right to the site.  Thank you!

Who was Susan B. Anthony?

The 2nd grade students created newsletters about Susan B. Anthony, who Ms. Recendez and I chose as an American Woman of Courage.  All the 1st and 2nd graders learned so much about her.  We used our iPads and the Pages program to add text and pictures in this lesson.
