Cotton Ball Punting Measuring Activity

Last week, the 2nd graders got to work on a cotton ball "punting" (or flicking) activity. They flicked their cotton balls off of a table or desk and then their teammates needed to work together to measure how far each flick was.

Heritage Hill

Today was our field trip to Heritage Hill! We had a blast! The 2nd graders got to learn about life on a farm in the early 1900's. They got to feed chickens, learn about different vegetables in a garden, different chores that boys and girls their age did, and even got to make butter! We really appreciated the staff from Heritage Hill welcoming us back for another great trip! A big thank you also goes out to Mrs. VerHaagh for being a wonderful chaperone and helping out our entire class all morning!

To make butter, you need to use a lot of arm muscle!
