Collaboration Friday: 2nd Grade ELA/Social Studies

Today the CE 2nd grade students had the opportunity to interview a Fire Chief and RN via FaceTime in the Library! Prior to attending the virtual field trip, students in 2nd grade have been studying community helpers and the ELA skill of comparing and contrasting.  Students brainstormed interview questions for the Fire Chief and RN, interviewed both during a FaceTime session, and then completed a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting the two community helpers.

During this virtual field trip students were able to meet Fire Chief Brad Hargrove and visit the Crowley Fire Academy (trainingdivision.com).  Brad showed the students a fire truck and gear in addition to answering interview questions from the students. Following this interview students had the opportunity to interview nurse Karen Fimbrez.  She gave the students information on her tools, daily activities, and the college experience needed to become a nurse.  

Thank you so much Brad and Karen for helping our students learn about the importance of community helpers and how to compare and contrast!

Thank you 2nd Grade team for collaborating with the Library! I look forward to Collaboration Friday: Talk Like a Pirate Day - Next Friday - Sept. 19th!!
