Weekly Update

We have had a busy week in 2nd grade! We have been exploring the idea of perimeter, so this week we put ourselves to the test. We worked in pairs to measure and calculate the perimeter of a variety of shapes on the blacktop. We got to decide if we would use cm, in, ft or yds to measure each shape. We talked about the importance of measuring accurately and labeling our math drawings. We also had a few butterflies emerge from the chrysalides. We released 3 healthy butterflies this week! Today one started to fly away, but decided to return. It landed on a 2nd grade friend's shirt. We know that's because her shirt was so bright and colorful. Room 9 has started to write stories about the life cycle of a butterfly through the eyes of a caterpillar. Room 3 will start their stories next week.
