We have started working on Time in Math and relating activities to the amount of time you might measure them in. It is definitely a work in progress with some feeling like it would be normal to sleep for months at a time and a year of staying in a motel but we did determine that you would not measure running around the track in years. Unless of course it was me and then we might look at hours... haha.
Talking about using our senses to assist in writing what do you think is the first thing kids think of when discussing what we might encounter on a farm?...You got it, manure! Funny to see things through the eyes of 8 year olds.
We had a rather interesting start to a discussion on the rights of children and it is going to be very fun to debate which they think is most important in determining their quality of life.
Best moment of the day was when one of the kids who is very afraid of all animals conquered his fear just a little and pet Gizmo the class Gecko. Woohoo for small victories!
