Second Grades Wraps up Pond Unit

November 4, 2011

We’re coming to the end of our Pond Unit in Second Grade. Students have had a lot of fun investigating the three ponds around BCD: the big BCD pond, Janet’s Pond – the small pond and wetlands area behind Peterson, and the Stockbridge Bowl across the street. We’ve taken water samples from each and looked at algae under a microscope. The students just finished making a wonderful Pond Life mural that you can see for yourself here in SESL – stop on by! Also keep a lookout for Science Journals coming home soon.
