IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Today was such a busy day! During Math Workshop we introduced number lines to the class. We are working on counting on as a skill to help us solve problems. Instead of counting all of the numbers,start with the bigger number and count on. Some of the children were counting all of the numbers to solve the problems, but some started with the bigger problem, and then they just hopped however many more to get to the answer!

We are studying wind this week, and it comes at a very interesting time with Hurricane Sandy. I showed the children where the hurricane was today in relation to us and talked about if and what kind of weather we could see from the hurricane. We talked how we will probably feel a lot of wind and possibly rain from the storm. We decided that we needed to make a wind collage to be prepared for the windy day tomorrow. This week we will explore wind doing various activities including a balloon fly off, a car race, and an object tracks the speed of wind.
