Wk 3 - Day 11

the students were working on a shoe measurement lab today. the lab was to emphasize why we have a common unit of measurement. this was an activity that i had suggested that mrs. s decided to do. the students were paired together and had to measure various things in the classroom with a shoe. after discussing their findings and finding out that everyone had a different answer...they better understood the concept. one student piped up and said how centuries ago in england, the measurement system was based on the size of the king's foot. the students were productive, creative, and liked discussing their findings.

ms. b's class wasn't able to do this activity, they were still finishing the activity from the day prior. i was asked to stay with ms. b's morning classes for the next day...she had a sub for the day and said i'd know the students better than she would. i think it's going to be interesting with having a sub.
