Mrs. Bradley's Grade 2
Grade 2 has a special visitor! His name is Nanook , which is the Inuktituit word for polar bear. He is a life sized bear and is going to help us learn about polar bears. On Tuesday we measured ourselves compared to Nanook and discovered that he was taller than all the students in our class. The black silhouette in the pictures is how tall Ivy is compared to our polar bear!
Once we compared ourselves to Nanook, we started measuring him to see how big he is. We used non-standard units of measure such as unifix cubes, hands and shoes to calculate his height and length. We learned that it takes a lot of grade 2 students to measure something as large as a polar bear. Ask your child how they compare to a polar bear! Wondering why our polar bear is brown and white? All of the grade 2 classes are working together to collage white materials over Nanook to create his fur. Watch for future updates of a pure white bear!
