A unique way of celebrating Valentine's Day...heart dissections underway in Anatomy!
Second graders in Mrs. Heeren's class enjoyed working with conversation hearts today in math. They estimated how many hearts were in their box, sorted the hearts by color, and then counted the actual number of hearts. Students used this information to create a bar graph with their results. The best part was getting to eat the hearts when they were done!
