Measuring weights, paper mâché, bar graphs and so much more!

              

          KG2 C stars are keeping themselves busy in great hands on activities- they are playing but the best part is that they are learning in the process! They made Shape Pizzas by adding shapes as toppings on their pizzas. We did not stop there! We counted the shapes, added them to a bar graph and answered some questions about them! Great thinking KG2 C! 

        Also, they compared the weights of different objects using a pan balance! They had fun balancing both sides of the pan balance by putting in or taking away objects from each side until both sides were the 'same'!

 

For STEM, they had fun making paper mâché! They rolled up their sleeves, and dived straight in to the gooey wheat paste to cover the bowls with paper! The next day they painted their bowls and are now waiting for them to dry so they can take them home! Great work kids!

So much happening in KG2 C!

Readers have been working hard and it is beginning to show! They have fast developed the concept of words, tracking, text direction, sight words and fluency! They are using pictures and initial sounds for cues to figure out challenging words! They are on the path to soon become Super Readers!

In STEM , the students have been exploring different kinds of woods. In the process, we also explored how they absorb water and discovered that some types of woods absorb water while some did NOT. And the the ones which did, the absorption is at a different rate. Interesting! 

 We further investigated how many paper clips it took to sink a piece of wood. The students conducted the experimented and then tabulated it on a paper! Great work K2 C!!
