Class 2OL

After sharing our Inventions, accompanying brochures and our Inquiry Projects with our families last week, we had to chance to view each other’s work. The students enjoyed hearing their classmates reflections on the iPods (especially the music they chose!) They also gave feedback about what they liked and what questions they had. Students used this information and the feedback they received from their families to set some goals for what they could do differently next time.

What hard workers!

Today we went outside and read Dr. Seuss’, The Lorax, to celebrate Earth day. The students then brainstormed to come up with different ways they could each help to save the Earth and keep plants, animals and people safe. We then painted a mural in the hallway and each of us painted a Truffula tree, the bright and fluffy trees that the Lorax tried to protect from the Once-ler who sadly cut down all of the trees to make Thneed.

The students then wrote one thing they could do to try and help the Earth in their Truffula tree.

Take a look at our bright and beautiful mural of Truffula trees painted by the artists of 2ol and our ideas to help save the Earth.

This morning when we came into school there was one brown chicken walking around. Within two hours we were able to see 4 more hatch!! It has been quite an exciting morning and the kids are enjoying every minute of it.  Hopefully a few more will hatch throughout the day.We were able to get a little of this excitement on video. It’s a really quick video but check it out!chick-movie-2.MOV
