Shelburne Farms Field Trip #resvt

On Tuesday, second graders travelled back in time to the 1800's with help from the staff at Shelburne Farms! In connection with our "Founding Families" unit, students saw a skit where two different bedrooms were described. One bedroom was from the present times, while the other bedroom was from the 1800's. Students also participated in candle making, carting wool, making butter, grinding corn, and helping with the daily farm animal chores. This field trip made Pilgrim lives more realistic to our second graders! Thank you to all the chaperones and excellent staff at Shelburne Farms for helping our day run smoothly!

It's all about the area #resvt

In our geometry math unit we have been focusing on rectangles. We define a rectangle by a shape that has four sides and four right angles. Today students had to put rectangles in order from biggest to smallest based on the area. In second grade we define the area of a shape as how many square colored titles fit inside the shape. Students did an outstanding job discovering the area of rectangles!

Pilgrim Venn Diagram and 5th Grade Buddies! #resvt

Friday, October 31st was a busy day for second graders! In the morning the class was introduced to a Venn Diagram where we compared Pilgrim homes to our homes in the present day. Students discussed the differences and similarities while sharing which home they would rather live in.

In the afternoon, we walked over to Camels Hump Middle School to meet up with our 5th grade buddies! Students shared a special treat and read stories to each other! It was a fun-filled day!
