Measuring Nature

       
This week’s “I Spy Nature” walk focused on measuring.
   
Their I Spy bags contained a documentation sheet and a length of string
for the child and an information sheet for their grown up
. 
I was thrilled that a lot of the families stayed for the adventure.
 
The children searched and collected 3 items that were the same
length as their string.
 
They walked along laying their string beside items till they found
a match.
Or their grown ups would find an item and help them measure to
see if it was a match.
 
Their collection was then attached to their paper.  The tape was a
bit chunky but I couldn’t think of any other adhesive that we could
take outside and would work quickly.
Any suggestions?
 
The grown ups recorded the names of the items.
      
                     I like his presentation.
                          It's a cross.

This activity took between 15-20 minutes from start
to finish.
         
Then they headed to the big rock or back up to the playground.

Back in the school I took all their collections and presented it
on our hallway bulletin board to share with all the members
of our school community.
