Marble Mazes

We did a unit on measurement for math and as a culminating project, each student made their own marble maze. First, they drew an outline on graph paper of what they wanted their maze to look like. Then, using a ruler, pencils, clamps, saws, and glue, they measured, marked, sawed, sanded, and glued their walls into the maze. Ms. Jen is finishing spray-painting the last of them and children are putting the final touches on, using paint pens. Once everyone has finished, they will get a special marble and be able to bring the maze home. Enjoy trying to escape the mazes!

Bulby Observational Drawings

Our bulb, “Bulby” has been quietly growing away and the children are doing a fantastic job with their observational drawings, taking time to note the changes, the colors, and estimating how tall it will get. The pictures are going into their Observational Journals that they will be able to bring home at the end of the school year. You won’t believe these masterpieces!

Lots of Boxes

Ms. Jen and Ms. Katie (our visitor from New Zealand) showed us how to play a fun game of “lots of boxes.” In pairs, students take turns drawing lines between dots, and connecting them to try and make as many boxes as they are able. The winner has the most boxes when all the dots have been connected.

Happy Weekend,

Jen & Lisa
