Grass, Length Hunt, and Community Circle
Today was such a busy day today! One thing that was exciting was that Mrs. Clark came with some friends to our room and told us that there was some grass growing in Madeline S. and Cha’kyra’s grass gloves!! We were so excited to see it growing in their gloves so now we are curious whether or not it will grow in the other gloves.
During Math Workshop today, the children went on a length scavenger hunt, and let me tell you…such an engaging experience for the children! I gave them a piece of yarn and asked them to find 5 items in the room that were shorter than the string they had. Then, they had to write that object down and measure it. The children were very excited about this experience, and what they do not know is that we are going to do it tomorrow except this time they have to find items that match exactly with their string.
At the end of the day today we met with our friends in Mrs. Argus, Miss Estridge, and Mrs. Clark’s classes. We went in the gym and played Woof together. Then we had a discussion about the message centers we have in our rooms. Mrs. Clark led a great conversation with them about figuring out a way we could write messages to each other. Sophia suggested putting the message centers in the hallway so that we can write messages to each other. Then Oliver said, “We could tape them altogether!” We are going to put this into effect on Monday so we are all pretty excited.
