Races


Today in the collaboratory E & V decided to time how long it took them to complete the obstacle course. 
"We want to see how fast we can do it!"
"Can you count for us?"
"Maybe we can use a timer!"

We pulled out the iPad and after a quick tutorial on how to access the stopwatch, E & V were off timing themselves on how fast they could race through the course. 


After a few laps the girls were asking if I remembered each number from each trial... sadly, I did not. 

"Maybe we can write the numbers down. Then we will remember how fast we are going."


"Look the 9 is smaller than this number [13]. We went so fast that time!"
"If the number is smaller, does that mean we went faster?"
"I think if it's bigger it means we went fast."
"I don't really know which one is faster."


This was a bit confusing. The two girls seemed to understand that in most games if you have a bigger number then you win! In terms of a race though, does a bigger number mean you've won? Something we will have to keep thinking about for next week.

Week 2 Day 2

 Pine Family is rocking and rolling in week 2! We are having less feelings of sad, mad, and scared upon entering class and more happy and fun throughout the day!  Friendly reminders: Water bottles should only come to school filled with water (it's the best for our bodies and in case another student would accidently take a sip it won't cause harm), sunscreen should be applied before drop off (there is not a lot of shade and not a lot of time for us to get the kiddos all lathered up), and bug spray should be applied before drop off (this is mostly needed when we start going to the forest on Tuesdays, starting on Sept 12th). Thanks :)

 Happy Monday! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. Not sure who is a football fan, but YAY CHIEFS!!!!! Let's celebrate this week by wearing Red for the Chiefs big Super Bowl win as well as red (or pink) for Valentine's Day!  Wednesday we are hosting a family pop in to help celebrate Valentine's day in our own Ambrose way. We will be talking all things love and friendship this week and would love to make a friendship mix as a special snack. (Here is the link if you want to donate https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KZGO1UibmZqK9XuNgXpwnY12fq-ZFwgQF6oC37FjaqE/edit?usp=sharing )  We will not be doing store bought Valentine card exchange, but will allow friends to make their own special cards/artwork to give to friends this week!
