Students in Mrs. Keisel’s and Ms. Dekker’s second grade class have been learning about matter.  We’ve talked about how matter is a solid, liquid, or a gas.  There are many ways matter can change.  A solid can change its shape by folding, biting, squishing, crumpling, etc.   Liquids can change their shape if being poured.

Here are some student responses to what they know matter is:

“Matter is…a solid, a liquid, a gas.”

“Matter is…something you see and feel and smell and taste.”

“Matter is…right here.”  (pointing to a friend)

Congratulations to these second graders!  They have demonstrated outstanding behavior in their classrooms for the month of September.  Way to fly, Eagles!

Dear Parents and Students:

It is time for our first Box Tops for the Arts drive.  The drive will run October 3-14.  Please make sure that each of your Box Tops has a visible, valid expiration date and product code.  We will be having a competition between the grades to see who can collect the most Box Tops.  The grade that wins will get a treat!
