Week of May 19th

What an eventful week! Students worked hard taking the math MAP test this week. They have grown so much since the fall! In math we are working on measuring objects using different units including inches and centimeters. Students had fun exploring objects around the studio and comparing their measurements. We also talked about the different tools used to measure items: ruler, yardstick, measuring tape. We are having so much fun observing our growing bean plants. They grow extremely fast! Students continue to test different variables and work on their scientific method Book Creators. We had a BLAST on our field trip to Blooming Heights! We had a lovely picnic lunch together, played at Castle Heights playground, explored what's growing in the Blooming Heights garden and played BINGO! We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather! We are looking forward to our next field trip! At the end of each day we enjoy writing poetry. We've even enjoyed writing poetry outside for inspiration in nature. Students are learning to write various types of poems and enjoy sharing "on stage" at the end of our school days. Our 2nd grade Poetry Cafe is June 5th. Our students will be sharing all their hard work. Stay tuned for more information! %2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2F104826825328574508950%2Falbumid%2F6016707182800269745%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCM7MnZKCh8CKyAE%26hl%3Den_US" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
