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.

"We should make it yellow too." "It also needs a telescope (periscope)." Now that the drawing phase was complete, some friends wandered over to then build a submarine out of the blocks. They worked purposefully and explained the different parts as they worked.  "We need to cut out a circle for it to be the telescope." B, V, & E continued to work with one another and make compromises throughout their building in order to make the best version of a submarine as they could.  The three finished building their submarine, but noticed something was missing.  "It needs a propeller so it can move!" How could they make a propeller? What does a propeller look like? The kids got to work on some research about wh...

1st Day fun!!!!

Welcome to the Pine AM Family! Our first day together was so exciting as well all got to know each other and explore our environment. You should be very proud of your kiddos! Stay tuned for a "Meet My Friends" paper to help you learn about everyone in our class :)  *My goal with the blog is to have a more lengthy description on Mondays (first day of the week) to give you information on what we topics, skills, items, etc. that we are exploring. I may not always have a narrative on the following days but will post pictures. (Please understand that if I, Ms. Carrie, am absent, pictures will not be posted.)
