After several weeks of research, writing, collaborating, and creating, students were eager to show their work. The week leading up to Exhibition was filled with excitement. Students reflected on their accomplishments, wrote scripts for presenting, and decorated their animal habitat. We shared our fears, too. Lots of us admitted to feeling a little shy or nervous, weary of getting tough questions... So we practiced lots and reminded ourselves that we have learned SO MUCH in these few months. Their hard work paid off! On Tuesday night, I had the honor of watching 60 proud, knowledgeable 2nd graders share their beautiful work with you, an audience of about 200. They should feel so proud of their research, their writing, their scientific sketch, and collaboration. Perhaps most importantly, they should feel proud of their bravery and ability to communicate their knowledge to an audience. I have witnessed so much growth, both socially and academically, throughout this project (I hope you can see the same). I look forward to learning beside them the rest of the year. Thank you for sharing them with me! Sadly, I didn't take a single picture during Exhibition - I was too busy listening to students present! If you have pictures that you would be willing to share, please email them to me and I'll add them to the slideshow above. Additionally, students collaborated in making a project scrapbook during a reflection activity (see below). We will be sharing this scrapbook between the three 2nd grade classrooms. Feel free to check it out whenever you're around!
