Today, Kelsey had a fun project with estimating and measuring volume. She had to make a guess at which containers would hold more, and true to kid fashion she decided the tallest would hold the most and so on that the shortest would hold the least, and I was happy because I knew my work would be easy. I mean what would be the point if she knew that you had to take into account the width of an item as well. We recorded and graphed our findings.
She guessed D as the most to A as the least.
She made estimates on how many cups she thought each container would hold.
She tested her theory.
This is her "Hmmm" moment.
We used blocks to show which ones held more. (I couldn't do halves, so I just drew a half lines on some of the blocks, I probably should have used something better to mark it, or picked containers that didn't have halves in the measurement)
She recorded her actual measurements, and answered a few questions about her experiment.
She also spilled on her paper while pouring, for authenticity, or clumsiness you decide.
We graphed our results.
We did some mini books about the sounds that "O" makes. We also did "OO" word wheels. This was all about understanding that "oo" can say moon, and look.
Generating a list of "oo" words for our word wheel.
Some extra practice with sight words that we confuse.
Determining the difference between questions and statements when you do not have punctuation.
We also talked about Ponds for Science today, and did a little T chart for the differences for a child in school during Colonial times versus now. She was amazed to say the least.
