Good Afternoon!
During kindergarten sign in, children had to guess which ball would travel the fastest down a ramp. The three balls they had to choose from were a marble, fluff ball, and a softer felt ball. Everyone guessed that the marble would travel the fastest: and it did!
Science: K.3.2 Investigate that things move in different ways, such as fast, slow, etc.
As they began testing the balls, younger peers stood at the doorway watching. After all five kindergarteners had signed in, younger friends took over the activity.
We added a few more tubes and eventually, had two lanes where friends were using the various balls to race. They talked about which ball travelled the fastest down the ramp and why they thought that was.
We easily extended this activity to hold the interest of children by using various materials such as more tubes and a few different balls.
Franklin and a few of his peers chatted this morning about drawing a dinosaur. Franklin worked with them and once the dinosaur drawing was finished, they took the idea outside. Franklin used materials from our outdoor environment to create the dinosaur! It was a great process to witness.
Enjoy the rest of the pictures from our day!
