Learning Comes to Life in Second Grade at Flower Hill!

Students in Ms. Dominguez’s second-grade dual language class had so much fun combining art, science, and literacy! After reading Looking at Art and learning about the painting "Soap Bubbles" by French artist Jean Siméon Chardin, students used the painting as inspiration to create their own colorful bubble art!

Throughout the activity, students explored states of matter, strengthened their literacy skills, and expanded their vocabulary by writing three-line alliteration poems using the first letter of their names. They also developed a growth mindset by practicing perseverance, being creative, and learning to keep trying even when something is challenging. "Activities like this encourage our students to think outside the box, try new things, and take pride in their learning,” said Principal Cindy Siegel. Way to go, second graders!
