Good Afternoon!
This morning we explored some math games and activities at the round table. During a long and serious game of “Count Down”, Hannah and William gathered a crowd of spectators. They took turns rolling the dice, added the numbers together then laying down the sum of the addition problem. Toward the end of the game, probability was not in the players favor, as only a couple of numbers were left. It was close at the end when William exclaimed “Boy this is a sweaty game!”, wiping his forehead. Everyone had a great time while learning math!
Outdoors a couple of friends discovered land snails and slugs in the mulch. We put them on a tray for observation and read a book about slugs, a close relative. We talked about the things that are the same and different about slugs and snails. We noticed that snails have a shell while slugs do not but both are slimy and need wet places to live. We also found that both lay eggs and are vegetarians. The kids took their knowledge and built what they felt would be an optimum snail and slug habitat on the tray.
