This morning we enjoyed a barge building challenge.  We were given a truck, a piece of cardboard with holes in it, string and rubber bands.  The challenge was to build a barge and attach it to our truck using some type of connector.  Our teacher helped us make knots if needed.  Next we tested our work in the science center.  We loaded up our barge with materials of our choice like blocks, pieces of wood or magnetic tiles.  We tested our project to see how much it could pull.  Some of us found that the rubber band was not strong enough to pull as much as we wanted to pull but the string was.  Most of us played with our creation all morning!

Hannah had the idea to make her barge bigger.  She asked for another piece of cardboard to attach.  As she worked she realized she would need another set of holes in the back so it could be attached on both sides.  I added the holes and she completed the project.

FAB: Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group.

PreK/K: After reading “Be Kind” for our story time, we worked on identifying which groups of objects were less than, greater than, or equal to. We took objects such as shells, tokens, and coins and put them in different groups. Then we went around the circle and had each friend count the number of objects in each group, then say which one was greater, lesser, or equal. Afterwards, friends had fun journaling about various pictures such as cobras and volcanoes.
