Second graders from Mrs. Scrocca's class honed their measuring skills in the Haldane School Garden last week. Armed with centimeter rulers and meter sticks, the children measured the garden beds, tomato plants, dried beans, and Haldane's very own banana plant. (That measured 1.8 meters in height!)
This young girl showed off her whopping 90 centimeter bean to the whole class!
Mrs. Scrocca said, "What better way for the students to understand the concepts of centimeters and meters than to measure things in the real world!"
