2nd Grade is learning all about change! Ms. Stewart's students split into small groups to investigate details about how the seasons change. They worked together, looking for details to support what changes that leaves and trees experience during each season. If you want to learn more, here are some of the texts that the students have read:
“Weather,” Eve Merriam
"The Little Yellow Leaf," Carin Berger
"A Color of His Own," Leo Lionni
"How Do You Know It’s Fall?," Lisa. M Herrington
"Why Do Leaves Change Color?," Betsy Maestro
"Sky Tree: Seeing Science Through Art, "Thomas Locker
If you're interested in learning more, you can search for read-alouds online and talk with your students about what they've learned in Wit & Wisdom!

Did you know that not every place in the world has libraries? For more remote places, citizens have to get creative about how to share books and instill a love of reading in children! 1st grade has been reading the books "Waiting for the Biblioburro" and "My Librarian is a Camel." Could you imagine getting your next novel from an animal? #OnePender
Third grade has been learning all about the sea in Wit & Wisdom! Students have been reading literature, such as "Amos & Boris" by William Steig and studying works of art centered around water. Next up? Jacques Cousteau! #OnePender
