Thanks to a generous donation, Mrs. Toth's 2nd grade was able to travel to North Lakeland Discovery Center in Manitowish Waters. Students learned about Loons, Antlers, Furs, and Scat. They got to take a hike while completing a scavenger hunt. They got see turtles, touch a snake and see frogs and salamanders. A fabulous time was had by all.

Mrs. Toth's 2nd grade class made sand dune models during their SOLID Start Science lesson. Their unit on Disappearing Dunes asks them "How does our Earth Change over Time". Students worked in groups to make the models. The models were then used to observe how Wind, Rain and Waves affect the dunes. They continued working together to describe how the dunes were before, during and after each weather event.

Mrs. Toth's 2nd Graders got to harvest the pumpkins in their garden. Mrs. Susanne Brown gave a lesson on pumpkins. Students were able to use magnifying glasses to examine "bugs". They then used the information they learned to examine the pumpkins, vines and other pumpkins parts.
They concluded the day by harvesting 160 pumpkins from their garden. That was enough to share with Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd AND 4th grades. A great way to kick off FALL!
