This week in math we have been exploring measurement of objects by their weight.  Children had an opportunity to use balance scales to compare two objects, noting which object was heavier.  We then moved on to more precise measurement, using sets of pennies and sets of counting bears to weigh different objects.  This has also provided practice with counting higher numbers as children have chosen some heavier objects to weigh.  Children have been doing a really nice job working with partners on these tasks.

During ECO this week our focus was on making ink with plants.  Children had lots of fun mashing and mixing to create  inks using various plants.  Blueberries and hibiscus seemed to give us the most color.  While the ink was steeping we spent some time outside looking for natural materials that could be used for drawing or writing.  We wrapped up our morning testing out the ink!
