Hello! Chloe is not a Summit dog, but my own forever dog.
Today we went to second grade. Did I tell you that we're writing a book called "Chloe is in Second Grade"? I know I told you at least once! Well, today was a great day for the book project. The class was doing a lot of math, partly because we were there. We started off the visit on the rug playing math games with cards. Then we did weighing and measuring. The teacher, Mrs. Simmons, likes the kids to do a lot of problem solving, and you'll see that they did plenty today. She measured the height of the kids and a helper checked their weight. They each wrote out a paper saying: "I weigh _____ pounds. I am _____ inches tall."
When it was time to measure Chloe, we discussed where you measure a dog, and the need to have consistent measurements, then we measured her at the shoulders. She was 24" tall. When it was time to weigh her, of course she would not fit on the bathroom scale. Another problem to solve. How can we find out how much she weighs. One second grader came up with the answer, and we proceeded to weigh the teacher, #128 and the teacher holding Chloe, #178. What math problem did we do to find out Chloe's weight?
After everyone had their papers ready, they each added Chloe's height and weight on them. As a group we found out - Who is taller than Chloe, or shorter? Who weighs more, less, the same?
We will save the papers and weigh and measure in a few months to compare. What do you predict: "I think that ( I / Chloe) will grow more. " We'll see.
