Our Study of the Human Body in 2nd Grade!

Our Study of the Human Body on PhotoPeach We have finished our study of the Human Body in Science. We have learned so many interesting facts about what our body does for us. During our study we learned about the Skeletal, Nervous, Digestive, Circulatory, Respiratory and Muscular systems. Did you know that bones hold up our body, give it shape, and protect organs inside our body? As adults we have 206 bones in our bodies. The heart is in the chest and it pumps blood throughout the body. Our lungs are in the chest and we use them to breathe. Our brain is the control center of our bodies. Whew! So much information! As your child about our study of the Human Body.

Nonfiction Report Celebration

Today, the students became teachers and taught their classmates! Each student got to share their report with their table members. Then each table picked someone person to represent their table and each representative got up in front of the class and read their report to the whole class. Several other student had their name randomly drawn to read as well. Some of the topics shared: Art, Soccer, Puppies, Skateboarding, Baseball, Cats, Swimming and Running. Everyone had a great time teaching and learning! What a great celebration!

Here are a few of our awesome authors:

Make sure to ask your student to read their report to you!

Measuring Length and Time

Measuring Lengths and Time on PhotoPeach We have been gathering an understanding of the concept of length and how length is measured. Using a ruler as a standard measuring tool we are becoming familiar with the terms inches, feet, yards, centimeters, and meters as standard units of measure. During our scavenger hunt we were finding items that are about the same length as each sentence strip. The students had a great time sharing their strategies for comparing lengths. The Land of Inch was hilarious! Ask your child about what’s going on in Math.

Don't Be Fooled!!

It may have been April Fool's but in room 204, no one was fooled by any tricky homophones! :)

 

Here a couple friends that finished their April Fool's fun skills activity :)

Ask your friend if they know the difference between: 

- pair and pear 

- threw and through 

- sent, cent and scent

Remember, Don't be Fooled!!

Love,
