What’s new?
Fulton Landing
We went to the exact spot where John and Washington Roebling once stood (and where the crash happened)!
Charcoal Drawings
Now we are working like Georgia O’Keeffe. We are starting with charcoal like she did.
Suspension 2!
We compared our bridges to John Roebling’s bridge. He didn’t use a ruler across the top, so we took ours out, too.
Suspension!
Today we tried suspending a deck between two towers. John Roebling said that makes a strong bridge!
“Junk” Construction
We worked in teams to create machines using random materials, and we made some pretty great things!
Do you have a 
meeting with us?
Here is the link!
Poetry Books
Ready to read??
Do you sometimes work with Andrew at Quiet Time?
You can do some extra practice at home!
Curriculum Night
If you missed the 2nd grade presentation on October 13, here is the ZOOM recording (without, unfortunately, the breakout room discussion).
Exploring Conte
Today, we tried out a new material called “conte”. It is a lot like charcoal, except with amazing colors.
