Taking our number talks outside on this beautiful day! “What do you see? How do you see it?!” “I decomposed the 3 into a 2 and 1 so I could make 10.” “I noticed I only needed 2 more to make 10 and would have 1 left to make 11.” These kiddos are rocking 2nd grade!!#owatonnaproud

What a blast to learn about ecology by catching bugs and looking at a mini ecosystem in a bag with @MrJensenScience. Excellent ESTEM lesson using outdoor classroom and integrating science, environment and technology. @Owatonna_MS #owatonnaproud
