To work on concepts in Boehm and just a general concept the students need to grasp we did an activity to help us with things that are short and tall. Table by table we went around the room and grabbed random things of varying sizes. This was fun for the kids, even though they had no idea what they were doing. After we had a lot of items on the table, the students came up one by one and they moved an item so that the shortest item was on one end and the tallest was on the other. This was kind of a hard concept for them at the beginning so with a little help from me :) we got it done! Then to challenge them, we decided to make a like in our room that was shortest to tallest.
It took us awhile...but we finally got to the point where we were in a line even if it wasn't perfect!!!
Cute!!! Love those little kinderbeaners!
