Ss in #PCGrade2 tested the Sail Cars they built during #PCiLab, then re-designed their car to see how far they could get it to go! 🚗 Our Zoom students had just as much fun with this activity as our Room students! #PCEngineers

First graders are awesome! They persevered with each new skill and became paper engineers! Thank you to fellow PC iLab specialist in FTL, @akdurie, for sharing this amazing project with us!

Even from afar, our 2nd grade writers are growing! Love seeing the world through their eyes! #PC2ndgrade #PCLowerSchool

A reading partner can be a great tool to keep track of longer books! Ss made a plan of when to stop and check in with each other while partner reading. They asked clarifying questions and discussed the important parts of their book. #pc2ndgrade

When a student makes their own board game for #globalplayday it really is #oneofthebestthings ! #pclowerschool #pc2ndgrade

Happy 100th day! Ss reflected on their favorite day of the past 100 and convinced their classmates why it was the best! #PC2ndgrade

Have you heard of a perimeter zoo? Ss created animals on grid paper and calculated their perimeter. These mathtastic animals were not only fun to make, but they created a great perimeter challenge for students! #oneofthebestthings #pc2ndgrade #pclowerschool @sandukes

@MrsCastaldiArt @sandukes @kristin_shealy So amazing!!

Blessed and thankful for such fabulous #PCGrade2 in #PCLowerSchool #PCVisualArts students! They explored the art of the silhouette on top of their background pertaining to tints, tone, & shadow project. #PCCreativity @BrookebMiller @sandukes @kristin_shealy

What do you want to learn about? This week Ss are researching the topic of their choice and using their research to create “All About” books! It’s amazing to see Ss take control of their learning! #pursueyourpassion #PCLowerSchool #oneofthebestthings @sandukes

Second graders worked together to show their learning in math. Ss loved making their own classroom charts! Picked this wonderful idea up from @MeganWeissman ! #pclowerschool #oneofthebestthings @sandukes

Our amazing second grade readers grow everyday! They practiced using context clues to figure out the meanings of Italian words they found in Tomie dePaola books. Readers persevere! #pclowerschool

Writing partners are the best partners! #pclowerschool #oneofthebestthings @sandukes

It’s Flashback Friday in C-9! Ss reflected on their week and wrote what they learned! #oneofthebestthings #PCLowerSchool @sandukes

Students collaborate to create our classroom rules! They are taking ownership of the classroom and the expectations and rules they should follow.

First graders celebrated their writing with Pre-K today! It was wonderful to see how students shared their love of creating stories with one another. #oneofthebestthings #pclowerschool

Our favorite part of the day is sharing our writing! #oneofthebestthings

Non-fiction Readers ask clarifying questions and mark interesting pages. This little one took it to the next level!

First graders love Rekenreks! Today we introduced these wonderful math tools while reviewing different ways to make ten. Students were engaged and craving the next challenge! #oneofthebestthings @anna_copsey

Poetry is #oneofthebestthings!

Ending our week on a positive note . Ss complimenting their classmates writing during a gallery walk. Inspired by @FraineyShannon & @TamaraMulkey #oneofthebestthings ❤️ @kristin_shealy @BrookebMiller
