Studying Massachusetts

Second graders have been working together in groups to learn about our wonderful state. The kids studied Massachusetts history, landforms, people, famous places and monuments. Today they presented their projects to the entire grade. There were posters, skits, game shows and even a rap with dancing! 


Ruby and Jordy had a lot of interesting facts to share.


Lev and Gabriel learned about forts and built a replica of a cannon.


Etan, Sam and Marie did an excellent job sharing all of their information.




Chelsey, Emma and Aviv performed a great skit and had an informational poster too.



Rachel, Ari and Jeffrey made a trivia game show to share their knowledge.



Gabriel, Victor and Olivia had an audience participation game show!


Nina, Aiden, Perri and Eli had a lot of facts to share. Eli gave us a wonderful impression of a cranberry!


Natan, Henry and Allison learned so much about all of the different kinds of land and habitats you can find in Massachusetts.








Leo, Brandon, Yael and Keala had a lot of creative ways to share what they learned; including a rap and dance performance!
Rapping and doing the worm!
