2nd GRADE SHOWCASE is DECEMBER 17, 2025 at 9AM-10AM
The module title is: Properties of Matter.
Students learned the three states of matter (solid, gas, liquid) and they learned about texture and color properties. Then the main focus was on insulators and conductors, mostly with heat. Learning how to read temperature and understanding that it plays a role in affecting the states of matter. Students were to solve the problem that one of the kids had by bringing ice pops to the soccer game but not having a cooler or anything to keep them cool for 30 minutes. Students in their groups had constraints (limits) to what they were able to use and had to use their knowledge of conductors and insulators to put together a "cooler" within 30 minutes with the materials that they were given.

Mrs. Constable chose Puzzles and Board Games with the 3rd-5th graders. The kids get to pick games or activities to play each day, sometimes in groups or sometimes independently. They learn games of strategy, games of imagination and some creativity. They learn about teamwork and critical thinking. Getting to come up with their own game was super fun to watch as they worked together and the creativity and ideas just flowed! What a fun enrichment to get to go to everyday!! GOOD JOB GOOD JOB!!!!

Mrs. Sullivan's choice for an enrichment was a fun one and will help these kiddos continue their love for sports. Any Sport is an important enrichment activity for 4th- and 5th-grade students because they support healthy physical, social, and emotional development. Through regular movement, children gain strength, coordination, and overall fitness, helping them build lifelong healthy habits. Sports also teach essential social skills, such as teamwork, cooperation, and communication, as students learn to work toward shared goals. They provide opportunities to practice responsibility, follow rules, and develop self-discipline. Participation in sports can boost confidence as children see their skills improve and learn to overcome challenges. Additionally, sports offer a positive outlet for energy and stress, helping students stay focused and engaged in the classroom. By exploring different physical activities, students may discover new interests and talents. Overall, sports enrich the elementary experience by promoting well-rounded growth and supporting both academic and personal success for young learners. GOOD JOB GOOD JOB!!!

Mrs. White picked a very relaxing but engaging enrichment this year. Pilates as an enrichment class in elementary school offers young students a unique opportunity to build strength, flexibility, and body awareness in a supportive, age-appropriate environment. By focusing on controlled movements, proper posture, and mindful breathing, Pilates helps children develop coordination and balance, which can enhance their performance in other physical activities and daily tasks. The calm, structured nature of Pilates can also support students’ emotional well-being by teaching self-regulation, focus, and stress-management skills. In addition, Pilates encourages a positive relationship with physical activity by emphasizing individual progress rather than competition. When integrated into the school day, it provides a refreshing break from academic work while reinforcing the connection between physical and mental health. As an enrichment class, Pilates fosters confidence, promotes healthy habits, and creates an inclusive space where all students can participate, grow, and discover new ways to move their bodies safely and joyfully. GOOD JOB GOOD JOB!!!!

Mrs. Puls took on such a fun enrichment this year! A Puzzles, and Board Games enrichment program in elementary school builds critical thinking and social skills through engaging, hands-on play. Students explore a wide range of activities—including logic puzzles, strategy board games, cooperative challenges, and problem-solving stations—that encourage them to think creatively and persist through difficulty. As they work through different games, children practice essential skills like pattern recognition, spatial reasoning, sequencing, and deductive logic. Many activities also promote collaboration, communication, and good sportsmanship, giving students opportunities to work in teams, share strategies, and celebrate one another’s successes. The enrichment class supports diverse learning styles by offering both independent and group tasks, as well as a mix of tactile, visual, and verbal challenges. Overall, the program provides a fun, intellectually stimulating environment that strengthens academic foundations while nurturing confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning. GOOD JOB GOOD JOB!!!
