Investigating new “modifications” to add to our planes.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Our inquiry on airplanes continues! Today, one of our friends noticed another library book that had directions for paper airplanes. The kids have been trying our each type and seeing which they like best. We have started comparing and contrasting the different types and Lucas found a big difference in one of our books. “This one has modifications!” “Modifications?” we asked. “What’s that?” Lucas then explained that one of the instructions had directions to cut wing flaps and other tools that planes use to steer them, control height, and speed. We have been talking about how planes control these things and how pilots know what to do when they are in the cockpit. Lucas began experimenting with some of the modofications to this paper airplane and soon after, many other friends were interested in seeing how their modifications would affect the way their plane flew.<\/p>\n

Solving our airplane problem during math workshop.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0I am excited to say that math workshop is quickly becoming a favorite time of day for the kids as well as myself. I was so impressed today with the kids’ ability to show their work with their manipulatives and record it for the first time in their math notebook. Our class was very thoughtful in showing our work and\u00a0many friends were even\u00a0trying to find new ways to solve prolems after it was solved one way. I was so impressed with share time as well- there is so much to learn from seeing a friend try the same problem and approach it in a different way. The kids are beginning to understand this as well and apply their new strategies to their own work.<\/p>\n
