2nd Grade Starts Powerpoints

Last Monday, the second graders began researching specific bridges that they had chosen.  The research was hard for them, because I challenged them with some questions that were not explicitly answered in the text, such as, “What are some factors  that influenced the materials and design?”  Despite the difficulty, they all worked hard, and most of them have started the 2nd phase of the project, which is to create Powerpoints with their information.

We finished up the day with some more SCAMPER activities.  The choices were to “Rearrange” Easter so that the bunny receives a gift from you instead of the other way around, or to “Combine” the Easter Bunny with another famous character, who could help the bunny with his job.  The students could also choose to try solving a very difficult logic problem, and I was really proud of the pair who worked hard to finish it correctly!
