Tie Dye!

On Monday, June 13th (the day before the last day of school), Mrs. Christie’s 2nd grade class would like to tie dye as a fun end-of-year activity! I already have the tie dye kit, but if you could send your child in with something white to dye, that would be great! It could be anything from socks, to a pillow case, to an old white shirt. Don’t feel like you have to purchase something new, I have an old white shirt with a logo on it that I am going to dye for myself! I will bring home the items to wash that night so the students may wear them on our last day of 2nd grade together!

Geometry

In math we have been learning about geometry! The students learned to play a game where they roll a dice to collect a certain amount of shapes. They can combine and build shapes to trade for larger ones until they are able to fill up their whole board with hexagons! The students are having a great time with it!

Our last 4 Winds - Kaitlyn and Dominic's Post

Our last 4 winds we learned about dandelions! It was fun to be out side picking them!

Finding Perimeter - Jackson's blog post

Yesterday we did a perimeter measuring activity, there were different shapes and different sizes. We were in little groups to measure, and there were different measuring tools like:yard sticks, measuring tapes, and rulers. I was partners with Kylie and I think we did pretty good : ) Here are some pictures of us ; ) Hope you like it!

The top one is the funniest in my opinion.

Deerbrook Rec Path Landmarks

This week, the students worked hard to finalize their descriptive paragraphs about the earth landmarks they found on our hike at Deerbrook Rec Path. Our next step, was for each group to work together using the iPads to word process their paragraphs, upload their photos and decide on the design of how they would present their landmark! The students worked very hard and they came out great!

Actual Size

Yesterday, the students were read the book Actual Size by author Steve Jenkins. In this book, the students learned about very large and small animals which were illustrated in their actual size! Afterwards, we did an activity where the students compared themselves to these animals. For example, we had to see how many gorilla hands tall they were.
