We need a new circle time rug,  we think the one we have is too small.
My friends are measuring for a new one!

The numbers on those tape measures are very small!

While some of these pictures show the Shark kids doing some of the activities, these were activities that both classes participated in.  We are using the project approach to engage young learners in our classrooms.  We work together to learn more about our topic of discussion.   More important than learning about the animals in this case, is the learning to learn that is taking place.  Each child has chosen an animal for exploration.  They will be doing some research (with help), surveys, writing,  math and art.  We choose topics that are of interest to the children and that give us many opportunities for tying in different types of learning.
