2nd Grade Works on Arch Bridges

One of our goals for the rest of the year is to perform random acts of kindness.  I asked the students this morning about RAK’s they had done in the last week, and they gave me a long list!  They are a thoughtful group of kids.

In keeping with that goal, I’ve been asking each GT class to participate in a Twitter chat our district is doing called #neisdkidschat.  One of the questions was to give a shoutout to a teacher.  I asked them to choose at least two staff members to thank and we tweeted out their gratitude and sent it to the teachers.

There are still a few students working on finishing their biomimicry projects.  Hopefully, they will be completed next week.  The students are also working on math challenge packets.  One student completed his and got to try out a new app called Algebalance which is an awesome introduction to Algebra.

Every group finished their beam bridges last week, so they began working on arch bridges after watching a Brain Pop video about the three main types of bridges.  I think they are definitely finding out how much more work goes into building an arch bridge than a beam bridge!
