Thoughts of the day- November 13

What did we do today?

• We went outside with Room 4 and we played this tag game where there are different animals and they had to get their food from other animals (carnivore would "eat" a herbivore).  There were omnivores, carnivores, decomposers and herbivores.  The carnivores could eat the herbivores, the omnivores could go after both, and the decomposers chased everyone.  he herbivores had the hardest job.
• We studied space and area.  We had to fit sheets of paper which were our habitats in a given space.  If they overlapped, you would "die" because you were sharing and competing for food, water, nutrients, shelter.  The space was 4m by 5m and we had to fit 47 kids.  We were able to figure it out on the third try, we went row by row like how a farmer plants their crops. Afterwards we drew or cut out tiny pieces of paper onto a given space to show what we learned.
