As usual, Mrs Stanski put together an amazingly funny and entertaining show filled with wonderful music, singing, dancing and theatrics! We all left the Meeting Place with smiles on our faces and the students were already talking about how they can't wait for next year when it's their turn!
This week we enjoyed bike safety, a few more chapters of Wonder, some partner reading and the beginning of our newest math unit, Measurement!
We started out our measurement unit by brainstorming all that we already know about the topic! We filled the board with types of measurement and standard unit names (minutes, seconds, hours, cm, m, km, g, kg, etc)!
We then narrowed our focus on measuring length. We started out discussing centimetres. We found a referent for 1cm...the tip of our finger! We practiced measuring objects using this referent to get approximate lengths. Next, we found a referent for 10cm using our hand with our fingers spread out just a bit. Again, we practiced measuring our desks, papers and then a friend's arm or leg! The kids had a great time and learned a ton!
Tomorrow, we're off to the Children's Festival! We can't wait!
