Hoping on in to Height and Measurements! "Growing and Graphing"



 Already, we are measuring. This week we are focusing on measurements. Your scholarly second grader will be measuring using blocks as a non-standard measurement unit. They will be able to determine the difference in blocks from a kinetic kindergartener to a second grade scholar like themselves, and even their teacher.

Parents, use the Prezi to understand this weeks lesson over measurements and height using bar graphs in more detail. Students will make bar graphs of their own to describe the height differences between all their classmates, and also a kinetic kindergartener and their teacher as well. During this process students will learn about evolution and why younger students and the teacher maybe much taller than them or shorter, also they will learn how to collect data and show the data by making a bar graph. Their bar graphs will resemble the graph shown below, and the students will be able to also interpret differences by just simply looking at the graph.

Lastly, throughout these next weeks not only will I challenge our students' to use bar graphs. I also challenge you, parents to incorporate using bar graphs, showing students how you can use bar graphs. Let's call it the "Graph Challenge". Have students make a bar graph of snacks that they eat or games that they play over two weeks. Have them record the data and then show the data on paper using a variety of colors for the different components. Miss Hughley :)
