This week in math, the children continued
collecting data with one die and a coin (sometimes simultaneously!) PIG has
proved to be one of the most popular games we’ve played this year. We will go
on to learn about mathematical sampling in the next weeks, as well as what
happens when you use two dice instead of just one - is getting a seven as
likely as getting a two?
Our cardboard city is looking beautiful - signs
have appeared, and it is looking much more orderly. On Friday, Elaine and Grace
worked with the children on exploring bridge building with newspaper. Because
our city is divided by a river, bridges will need to be added soon. Our related
pen pal project is going well - the 2nd batch of adorable letters have been
drafted, edited, mailed, and opened. The 3rd batch is now in first draft form.
August and Jackson came prepared with two
special books to read to their classmates on Wednesday, and the audience
members were quiet and appreciative - nice job by all!
A special event this week was a field trip to
the Wild Swan Theater to see The Wizard
of Oz. Elaine Neelands was the guest teacher on both Thursday and Friday,
and I know the children must have loved being with her - and I look forward to
a very positive report.
