Longer and Shorter

Yesterday, Kindy was introduced to the concepts longer and shorter. Most of our Kiddoes had a pretty good understanding of this concept already. Therefore, we decided to have a little fun. Each child was given the same length of paper and told to make a snake. They needed to decide how long they wanted their snake to be and then cut the paper to make a head and decorate. Once this step was finished, the fun really began. The Kiddoes wandered around the room comparing the snakes to figure out which ones were "longer' or "shorter"

Once the Kiddoes had the hang of measuring, I set them loose in the school. Their job was to make 2 videos. One video was to be of something longer than their snake, the second was to be something shorter than their snake. Check out your child's e-portfolio to see what they found. (I can't wait to look myself!)

Each Kiddoe brought his/her snake home today. See what you can find at home that is longer/shorter than the snake!
