Mad Science Team Time!

Posted October 14, 2012 By jzraskin@gmail.com

This past week’s Team Time, always a favourite in second grade, took on a whole other shape when it turned into Mad Science Team Time!

In honor of our new unit ‘Climate affects people’s lives‘, the grade 2 students enjoyed weather-related science explorations and experiments.

Students had the choice of investigating wind, water, or air pressure!

Enjoy the slideshow…

Team Time Gymnastics!

Friday at lunchtime recess. The playground.
Elena, Jessica and Megan ask “Can we do gymnastics at Team Time today? We want to make a show!”
After 45 minutes of recruitment, training, choreography and practice, we rolled the camera! Enjoy!

Team Time: Insect Hunters!

Posted September 5, 2011 By jzraskin@gmail.com

Team Time is something special. For the final period each Friday each second grade teacher offers a different activity to students. Students can choose where they want to go, with whom, and to do what. Many students had been exploring the green spaces of the playground and catching insects during recess times so, on September 2, for Team Time, Ms Brown and I offered second graders a chance to grab cameras, notebooks, insect guides, empty jars and magnifying glasses and go insect hunting. We found some amazing things and had a ton of fun!
