Dear Journey North,
Mrs. Swentzel's third grade class from (Byram) Stanhope, NJ spent quite a
bit of time thinking about the challenge question #10. We read about the
Children's Monarch Butterfly Reforestation Project and think this is a
really great project. After looking at the pictures that you shared with us
before, we can tell this is important.
We decided that we needed to find out how big a hectare was and checked it
out, just to have an idea of size. Then we wrote down how many seedlings
will be planted in 1 hectare. We then figured how many 2,500 seedlings in
one hectare would fit into 15,000 and we found that it would fit in 6 times.
The following was the way the class wanted to figure out the problem:
2,500 seedlings- 1 hectare
2,500 " - 1 hectare
2,500 " - 1 hectare
2,500 " - 1 hectare
2,500 " - 1 hectare
2,500 " - 1 hectare
15,000 = 6 hectares
This seems like a good start to help reforest the forests of the monarch
reserve. We wish we could be there to help and to see everything.
Your friends in NJ
