Just because it’s a half day doesn’t mean we can do STEAM! Their challenge is 20 min to build a package for 2 candy canes out of construction paper and tape that will protect them from getting broken. @GMASteam

In design lab, 2nd grade used inspiration from animals to solve human problems! A narwhal inspired fishing pole, a tiger tooth battering ram, and a cheetah inspired shoe to help run faster! Super impressed with these students! @GMASteam

Getting our end of year/field day shirts ready for Friday! @GMASteam

We had a table against table math competition today to practice measurement word problems! A lot of really great teamwork and overcoming frustrations. And of course some really great math! @GMASteam

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that our class had an amazing day after starting the morning meeting and reading with our HABIT dog Knox! @GMASteam

2nd grade had a blast at the Muse today!

This 2nd grader told me he wanted to be just like our Park Ranger guest at GMA’s career fair today! 💚 @GMASteam

[Justine Reat @JustineReat]

I love when we can add some fun into phonics! 2nd graders competed in teams matching up syllables to create words! Both teams did awesome! #funphonics @GMASteam

[Justine Reat @JustineReat]

You know you’re having a fun day in design lab when the teacher is on the floor building! 💚 @GMASteam

[Justine Reat @JustineReat]

Our class has a daily STEAM center and today’s group made a whole holiday performance (inspired by Beaumont’s Christmas musical)! There was a Christmas tree and seats with guests. I love watching these kids be creative! @GMASteam

Thank you so much to T. Scott Jones from Banks and Jones Law Firm for coming to our class to read to us. We loved the book and the treats he brought with him!

[Justine Reat @JustineReat]

One of the ways we celebrated Native American Heritage Month was to read books by Native American authors! When the class asked to try fry bread after reading the book, I had to put my chef hat on.

Some sneak peaks at 2nd grades animal habitat PBL! Finished products will be displayed at the @GMASteam STEAM Fling!

[Justine Reat @JustineReat]

Working out with @jess_sims and she said this to keep the class motivated. It resonated with me so much I made a reminder to share it with my 2nd graders tomorrow morning!

[Justine Reat @JustineReat]

Second grade had so much fun learning about animal habitats with @zooknoxville today! @GMASteam

[Justine Reat @JustineReat]

During our morning circle today, this second grader said if she could have any super power, she would be a teacher! @GMASteam

[Justine Reat @JustineReat]

We got to construct our very own graveyards today! Love the smiles watching them crush up their “dirt.” We work hard so we can play hard!

[Justine Reat @JustineReat]

Our class had one goal in mind this morning: finish our phonics and reading lessons (while following expectations!) so we could paint pumpkins. They crushed it AND their pumpkin masterpieces! @GMASteam
