Measurement and Polar Bear Cam!

Yesterday we began our next math unit on Measurement.  Today students were given a piece of yarn and worked with a partner to find things in our classroom that were longer than or shorter than the yarn.  Students recorded and then shared their findings.

This afternoon I read the book A Pair of Polar Bears by Joanne Ryder.  A story about two polar bear orphans who were rescued in Alaska and brought to the San Diego Zoo.  The two polar bears named Kalluuk and Tatqiq are still at the San Diego Zoo.  We enjoyed watching them this afternoon on a live webcam: Live Polar Bear Cam!
