We
charted the temperature and sunrise/sunset times each day over
the course of a week. We noticed that it is still pretty hot even
though we’re getting closer to the first day of autumn.
We also noticed that while there are always 24 hours in a day,
the amount of time we have daylight is getting shorter by a few
minutes each day. |

since we did our summer observations in September. We have had
to dress differently, wearing long pants, long sleeves, and jackets,
too. We also noticed that while there are always 24 hours in a

We
charted the temperature and sunrise/sunset times each day over
the course of a week. We noticed that while it has gotten colder
since we did our observations in October, it hasn’t gotten
as cold as usual for this time of year. We have had to dress differently,
also. We’re still wearing long pants, long sleeves, and
jackets, but we’re also wearing sweaters, hats, scarves,
and mittens too. We also noticed that while there are always 24
hours in a day, the amount of time we have daylight is now increasing
by a few minutes each day. |
We
charted the temperature and sunrise/sunset times each day over
the course of a week. We noticed that it has warmed up a lot since
our observations in January. We have been dressing differently,
too. On some days, we’re still wearing long pants, long
sleeve t-shirts, and light jackets or sweatshirts, since it is
still cool in the morning. But we’re also starting to wear
capris, short sleeves, and shorts. We also noticed that while
there are always 24 hours in a day, the amount of time we have
daylight continues to increase by a few minutes each day. |

As part of our second grade Science curriculum, we study the seasonal changes by observing a tree and documenting those observations.
Our Tree in Fall
Look at
our tree in fall. We noticed that our tree has changed since we observed it
in September when it was still summer.
Our Tree in Winter
Our Tree in Spring
We made some observations about our class tree. We noticed that the tree looks like it’s coming back to life! It has a lot of light green buds and small green leaves on it. We drew what our tree looked like. Take a look.
