Measurement

We are learning to measure objects using non standard units. We painted snowmen and then used cubes to measure how tall they are. It was "snow" much fun!

The children in our class were also very curious to find out who our tallest friends are and who our shortest friends are. We used string to measure all the students in our class.

Ladybugs

Our friends have recently shown an interest in learning about ladybugs. Take a look at some of the books we've been reading and at the amazing pictures they have drawn.
