In science, 2nd grade has been learning about different materials and properties! They learned about different properties of soil and clay, and whether or not they would be good for building. Then students got to use clay to build their own home! 🏠

Just a reminder, parent-teacher conferences will be held Oct. 29th & 30th.
Please call the school to schedule a time to meet with your child's teacher.
