Cap ~ Week 2 & 3

Week 3 Happenings:

We moved from rooms to “dwelling” this week.  

 

On Monday the kids worked to compare and contrast relative sizes.  We worked in small teams.  Point is that many things come in different sizes but “if they have the basics” they are good.  This expands on the basic components of “chair” and “room” and hopefully this set up the potential to have similar ways of seeing that most dwellings have many standard components: likes and differences are in size and “decoration.”

On Tuesday we cut, colored, and taped together our chick houses. 

On Wednesday we went on a field trip to gather the “nesting” material (on the school grounds).  The weather was nice that day.

On Thursday built nests in the chick houses and move in the chick family. 

On Friday we drew and wrote about the houses.

 

Week 2 Happenings:

On Tuesday we answered questions about our chairs and people that we made during week 1. Some of the questions we reflected on:

1. Describe your chair.
2. What did you need to know to make your scale figure?
3. What would Peter say about your chair?
4. Was your chair like the other chairs?
