4th graders always enjoy a simultaneous roundtable activity when they do their spelling. In teams, students write a response on their own piece of paper. After two minutes, students rotate clockwise. This continues until all the questions have been answered. Makes for some neat conversation and collaboration!

2nd grade has been learning about plants and habitats! They created trees to experiment with light reaching the leaves. They are also learning about seed dispersal. They had a blast acting like chipmunks & hiding seeds to find later. (otherwise new trees may grow!)
