A Huge Project by JK/SK

If you walked by the JK/SK classes on Wednesday, you would have heard lots of excitement!  Our kindergarten class took on the big task of making a chain link that stretched all the way from our class into Mrs. DiLaudo's class.

The project started with just a few friends from our class trying to make a long chain with the linking toy.  Ms. Ducharme engaged with the students in this activity and we decided to see whether we had enough links to go from one side of our class to the other.

The fun and learning didn't stop there.  The children then wanted to see if we could make the link chain stretch all the way through the cubby room to Mrs. DiLaudo's doorway.  Guess what?  We did it.  Mrs. DiLaudo's class got in on the excitement and they continued the link chain all the way across their classroom!

What was the learning here?

Estimation

Counting (Yes, we counted groups of 100!!)

Measurement

Fine Motor Development

and of course...co-operation, turn-taking and problem-solving!

Here are some photos of our fun!  The entire class got involved and were beyond excited in their accomplishment!

Great hands-on learning!
