Rainey A

Always looking to build connections, Rainey Room A enjoyed a morning full of constructing train tracks. Like all building projects, obstacle courses and otherwise, the question of “how to fasten A to B” immediately arose. Through several iterations of problem solving, Rainey A created quite an expansive track that filled the better half of our green, construction rug! ​

Elena also introduced the notion of measurement. The children have been comparing the length of their legs during meeting times with statements such as “My legs are longer than yours” or “I am bigger than you”, so Elena asked the children how we could measure each other and compare our result. CC recommended “measuring something we can trace” suggesting measuring the book Ada Twist, Scientist  using “maybe string?”. Elena gave each child a piece of yarn, and they started measuring everything they could, CC said” I am 41 pounds” George said “I am 45”. George also used blocks to measure Lochie and counted the blocks, "Lockie is 10 blocks long” From fingertips to toes !We also revisited our work this week about tracing our playground obstacle course, and discussing St John’s beautiful skylight.  In an effort to tie together our construction ideas with tracing blueprints, we will continue to investigate different ways of measurements and recording our measurement.
