Second graders had a blast this week learning about force, motion and gravity @RockledgePWCS @PWCSNews #SCIENTIST #kidsdeserveit

[Andrea McGroarty @MsM_RKES]

Thank you, veterans!

[Andrea McGroarty @MsM_RKES]

Such focus and determination while building words in small groups... Good job, 2nd-grade stars!

[Andrea McGroarty @MsM_RKES]

Happy FriYAY (from Ms. M's class plus some wonderful fourth graders)!

2nd-grade students have been taking a closer look at author #KevinHenkes this week. Yesterday we created our own characters and chose character traits in the style of the author/illustrator!

[Andrea McGroarty @MsM_RKES]

Love these kiddos! Thanks for being awesome, @RKESmusic!

[RKESmusic @RKESmusic]

There are a variety of ways to feel the beat and catch the rhythmic patterns in Music! We’re ROCKIN’ in POUND & tried something new with our ripstix as a warmup today to our 2 new songs! 💚🎶🤘@RKES_PWCS @SharonWalch @MsM_RKES @MrsASchott @MrsEverettRKES @Rockledge2nd

@RKES_PWCS second graders learned about the Lakota tribe and built their own teepees! @PWCSNews

[PWCS @PWCSNews]

Natalya, a seventh-grader at @PotomacMS, and Jalynn, a fourth-grader at @MaryWilliamsES, started a handmade jewelry business! With a love for helping others, the sisters are donating part of the profits to local charities. #PWCSproud⭐️

2nd Grade stars are exploring changes in transportation and communication, past and present. Students were so excited (and shocked!) when analyzing photos from the past. Check out these awesome observations! #SocialStudies @RKES_PWCS

We had a working snack this afternoon! Students enjoyed a socially distant snack while working on Lexia, reading, or writing. What a nice way to enjoy this beautiful March weather! 😍

[Andrea McGroarty @MsM_RKES]

A big round of applause to my EoM for the month of March! Mimi takes great pride in her ability to empathize with others and make her classmates (and teacher) smile. I am so proud of her!

Calling all students... Remember to get your Lexia minutes in each and every day! 2nd grade students who complete all of their Lexia minutes this week will attend a grade-wide snack & game Zoom with Ms. M, Ms. Crow, Ms. Fearon, and Ms. Onyundo. We can't wait to celebrate YOU!

Tasha Johnson, reading specialist at @KerrydaleEs, celebrated Black History Month with her students by sharing stories of Black Americans during her “Whatcha Reading Wednesdays!" 📚

[Andrea McGroarty @MsM_RKES]

This second grade star has been working on writing her own story! I can't wait to hear what comes next in this epic tale! @RKES_PWCS

[Andrea McGroarty @MsM_RKES]

There's nothing like reading on a scoop rocker after a Pound session with @RKESmusic!

[Andrea McGroarty @MsM_RKES]

@Rockledge2nd is working hard on research writing! 2nd graders have chosen a famous American to research, explored them on #PebbleGo, and created a draft. Can't wait to see how these pieces turn out when the process is complete! @RKES_PWCS

[PWCS @PWCSNews]

As a reminder, in-person students and staff are required to wear face coverings throughout the school day.

[TED-Ed @TED_ED]

Do you agree?

[Andrea McGroarty @MsM_RKES]

Kindness AND writing? Yes, please! Last week, second graders learned that a kind note goes a long way. Check out this awesome writing! #SpreadKindness @RKES_PWCS

[Rockledge Eagles @RockledgePWCS]

We are ‘crazy’ for kindness at Rockledge! Ms. Elza’s students shared some excellent examples of how they can be kind using Padlet this morning. We’ll continue the last two days of our Kindness Spirit Week when school resumes again following the closure(s).
