If you happen to be taking a vacation and money is no object, then you might ask your daughters how to calculate air distances from Washington, D.C. to exotic places in the world, such as Stockholm, Cairo, Rio de Janeiro, or even Shanghai. The girls learned how to use a globe scale and based on that information, they measured and converted the measurements to miles. If you're going to be a global citizen, you do need to know where places are, right?! This group of girls worked well with their partners and team, and they loved learning about this. We use maps almost every day in our classroom in every subject because the girls are so interested in the world! Check out the pictures below!
We are STEAMED UP in our class---getting ready for the big day on Friday! How do you build a bridge? Can we build a bridge? How will we use our recyclables in this endeavor? Final question!
Will it hold a pound? If last Friday's dry run, working on a different problem, with Mr. Tullner's First Grade is any indication, then we have a good chance. First and Fourth graders teaming up together! This will be fun and interesting!
We can't wait, so stay tuned.
