Using Chromebooks and Hatching Butterflies

Your second graders were very excited to use chrome books for the first time!  Mrs. Martino and her capable helper is showing us how to log into the Rivendell web site to find my blog page.  From there we found the links to math games on the upper right corner. We played Hidden Pictures Addition to practice math facts.

We were lucky to have America Reads students that morning to help us with the log in procedures.

At the beginning of the week we were surprised to see a Monarch butterfly had hatched. We put it outside on one of our corn stalks as it dried it's wings and later found it feeding on a Black Eyed Susan, one of our plants in a new Pollinators garden.  We now have a Black Swallowtail caterpillar making its chrysalis on our Science Table.  It's been fun to see kids adding things from nature they've found at home. I ask that living things not be taken from their homes outdoors (exception is the caterpillars that we found in our garden.)  Also no smelly things!  Thanks
