Experience with the 2nd Grade Lesson

For most of this week Mr. Spake has let me observe his teaching. The lesson we are currently teaching to our second graders is about how the plant works. They first figure out, depending on their card, if they’re a root, steam, leaves, or a flower. After that we go outside and make a class flower. The kids into a formation of a flower and pass eggs that represent water up the stem. It’s really awesome to see how kids learn and interact with these fun activities that they actually participate in. The next part of their trip is to go find root, steams, and leaves. When they find those they make a poster like example and explain which part of the plant does.
