Colonial Science in 2nd Grade

The TCS garden is overflowing with herbs this fall, which is great for the second graders who are in the midst of their colonial studies. With the help of second grade mom and nutrition and wellness expert,Maya Bradstreet, we learned about the benefits of herbs and used them in several ways.

Making herbal soaps

Herb infused essential oils

Natural dyes

These are STEAM-infused times in second grade!

Learning the Tools of the Trades

PreK students have begun their study of tools used in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM!) We have been learning about and using scissors, and today we met others around campus who use scissors and other cutting tools
in their work.

Tony uses a pipe cutter, hedge trimmers and wire cutting scissors!

Nurse Fucci uses scissors to cut gauze and tape and to trim hang nails!

Mrs. Zane uses scissors to open packages of new postcards!

Mrs. Glasser uses scissors to open her glasses wipes (and students' yogurt snacks!)

Mrs. Richar uses a scissor-like letter opener to open mail that comes to the Country School!

Ms. S and Katie use student scissors to open a special birthday treat for Ms. S!

We had a great tour of tools at work at TCS today!
