IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

We are studying informational texts this week, and today I read a book about homes on the water.  I cannot believe how into the book they were!  Miss Boyle and I kept looking at each other while we watched them ask question after question.  The children were so inspired that they have decided to add a pond to Mouse City and then make a house on stilts to put over the pond.  We were planning and problem solving that today!

We also have been measuring a lot this week.  We had this awesome road and sidewalk that Isai and Sarah made, but then we did not know if the mouse spaces were going to fit so we had to measure them to see how long each one was, and then we had to measure the white space on our street to see which space fit the best.

Again, Mouse City has been such an engaging and purposeful way to teach various math concepts and collaboration!  And now, measuring!!
