Jog-O-Thon!

Jog-O-Thon!  Well, it was one of the hottest days of the year so far, and Mr. Kelley's Class had the last time slot of the day, but that didn't stop us! We ran a total of 313 laps around the track here at Bonny Slope Elementary! Way to go 2nd graders!

2nd Grade Market!

The 2nd grade Central Idea for our PYP Unit "How We Organize Ourselves" is: "Communities depend on the exchange of goods and services to function". To wrap up this unit, the whole 2nd grade had a "market". Each student made a good or provided a service and set up shop in the classroom. We also learned about advertising, pricing, supply and demand, and many other concepts. Then all the students in 2nd grade, and many from the rest of the school, teachers, and parents came to the market to buy the amazing products the students were selling! Students were also given jobs in the class in order to make money to spend at the market. It was a huge success!
