Second Grade in the Library
Author Heidi Stemple shared how she comes up with ideas for books based on her personal experiences and interests - owling with her family and participating in the annual Audubon Bird Count. We are looking forward to her two new bird related books in the Fall of 2018.
Ranger Tim
If you see Ranger Tim at Fresh Pond, stop and talk. He is a wealth of information about the Fresh Pond habitat. He recently visited with the 2nd graders and taught them about the owls of Massachusetts.
Bird Study Continued in Art
Second graders are creating a drawing model of the bird they are researching in library. They use their 2D drawing model to create their 3D bird. Birds are created out of foil and tape/newspaper and tape and then covered with clay or paper maché. Paint and collage will be the finishing details.
