I had a lot of activities planned for Fun Friday, but the kids really got involve with the first project, so we really didn't get a lot accomplished, but it was great to see the kids take such an interest in a project.

A student's finished fall project. |
We also did a measurement activity outside to go with our math unit. I
put the kids in groups of two and gave them paper and a pencil. I took
them to the basketball court and had them stand on one of the black
lines. Then, I had them jump as far as they could and we marked it with chalk. I
gave them different materials like blocks, markers, snowflake blocks,
paintbrushes, etc to measure how far they jumped. Then, they recorded
their answer and their partner's answer on their paper.

I gave the students an example of how to do the project, but I let them do it however they wanted all on their own. |
|
We are doing a measurement unit in math and I was pleased to hear them using so many comparison words. For example, "My grass is tiny." "Your grass is taller than mine." |

The students used brown construction paper to make their own trees. |
|
Then they tore up paper for the leaves. This student made a "Halloween Picture." |
|
This student made a night time scene. |
|
This student made a sun out of the yellow paper and drew water pipes in the grass. |
