This is Mr. Potato Head made from modeling clay of different colors.

Mr Potato Head

How to do the modeling clay project:

  1. Draw the figure you want to make using the modeling clay. Pattern the size of the drawing to the board where you will put the modeling clay character.
  2. Use rolling pin to flatten the modeling clay. In our case, we used a discarded cling wrap carton roll as rolling pin.
  3. Use other materials to shape the body parts like a plastic knife for a more precise cutting of the modeling clay.
  4. Make the parts of the (cartoon) character you want to make.
  5. Put the parts together.

Don’t forget to take step-by-step photos of your art project to document your progress 🙂

Visiting Nuvali

Nuvali Field Trip Memorable Experience Journal entry:

On August 4, 2010, we’ve been gone to field trip in Nuvali. In Nuvali, we go fish feeding, boat riding, hiking, and trekking. In fish feeding, we’ve come now to the lake that is full of fishes. The fish food is worth PhP15.00.

Now we buy one and you see the lake is full of fishes then I throw fish food. And the fishes are fighting each other to get one! There until JM and Karl and I shared fish food until the food is now few. I threw them all at the lake.

Now the boat riding. Before the boat riding, Kuya Robi explained (to) us about recycling. We line up for the boat but Just*** R keep pushing me! Then when we stop, Just*** R stole my place! Then its time to go inside the boat but it was too late. I was the the one next to go inside the boat but the boat was full. Later (while the son is waiting on the dock), waves go to us, it felt like we were surfing! The boat arrived (after a few) in minutes. Then when I go in, I sit at the back of the boat. I put on the vest that is on my back (of the seat). And then when the boat started we go to the fountain. Then when we are now back (to the fish feeding station), I was a little wet.

Hiking and Trekking. When we had come to the bridge, it is so down we would really hike! When we started to go down it’s scary. In the last it felt like I was sliding down the and its really scary! Now, at last that was finish its time now to step on rocks, not on soil. Now when that hiking is done we play in a river for a few minutes. Kuya Jan explained (to) us something. After that we play but my mom panicked to call me and it started to rain! Oh, I almost forgot, I forgot to use Crocs but I was using my rubber shoes and stones went inside. I changed my clothes outside the bus and we leave Nuvali.

Words in italics were added in an attempt for minimum editing. Everything was handwritten by the son in his Science notebook.

In the Heart of a Seed…

Enrichment, Grade 2 Lessons, Images, Science, The Son Comments Off on In the Heart of a Seed…

In the heart of a seed,
Buried deep so deep,
A tiny plant
Lay fast asleep.
“Wake,” said the sunshine,
“And creep to the light.”
“Wake,” said the voice
Of the raindrops bright.
The little plant heard
And it rose to see,
What the wonderful,
Outside world might be.

Addition with Regrouping

  • In adding numbers with regrouping, align the digits according to their place values.

  • Add the ones first, the tens next, the hundreds, and then the thousands.

  • Regroup to the next higher place whenever the partial sum is more than 9.

Addition without Regrouping

  • In adding numbers without regrouping, write the numbers in columns, so that the ones digits are at the rightmost column, the tens digits are in the next column, the hundreds digits are the third column and the thousands digits are in the leftmost column.

  • Start adding the ones digits, next the tens, then the hundreds and then the thousands digits.
