We kicked off the “Float Your Boat” engineering challenge! Teams collaborated, listened actively, & designed boats to see how many pennies they could hold before sinking. Excited to refine and improve our designs tomorrow! #STEM #EngineeringKids #Collaboration #HandsOnLearning

Today’s scientific challenge: Save Sam! Teams worked together to rescue their gummy worm using only their tools, no hands or voices! Proud to say EVERY team saved Sam! 💪 Collaboration, problem-solving, and lots of smiles all around. #STEM #Teamwork #SecondGrade

Second graders are growing their writing by expanding simple sentences. We are adding where and when details to bring ideas to life! ✏️📚 #SecondGrade #WritingSkills #YoungAuthors #ClassroomLearning

We read Our Class Is a Family and talked about kindness, respect, and belonging. We also created a Class Promise together and everyone signed it! #SecondGrade #ClassFamily #ClassPromise #KindnessMatters #BuildingCommunity #ProudTeacher

First Day of School BINGO

Summer PD looks a little different this year…real-world history, deep dives into Meriwether Lewis and the War of 1812, and plenty of inspiration along the way. CKLA curriculum, get ready… I’m coming back with fresh energy and big plans.

Keep reading. Keep believing. Keep pretending. And keep being who you are! New adventures are just around the bend. DO GREAT THINGS, Kiser Class!

Second grade Camp Read A Lot Day was a HUGE success! ⛺️ Students traveled to different activity stations, explored new stories, and enjoyed cozy reading time in their classroom tents. So much imagination, learning, and love for reading all in one day! #CampReadALot

Shout out to Mrs. Kauffman & Mrs. Richardson for serving as our Design Process experts & roller coaster judges! Our 2nd grade engineers learned so much about force, motion, & problem-solving. Their creativity & perseverance were incredible to watch! #LearningByDoing

Second Grade Field Day = SUCCESS! Big smiles, lots of laughs, and just the right amount of friendly competition! These athletes gave it their all and made memories that will last a lifetime. #FieldDayFun #SecondGradeStrong #MakingMemories
