Let's Measure!


‘Let us Measure’ has been an extended topic this semester. The children learned to measure length with their hands and feet, also using a ruler and a measuring tape. They measured almost everything in the classroom – the tables, chairs, doors and windows, the book rack and more..

Moving on from objects to measure their own bodies, the children enthusiastically measured their own weight, height, arm length, waist and more…Dylan also measured the length of his finger!

Still more measuring during cooking class (Pizza Math)…like how much flour and yeast need to go into the mixing bowl to make pizza dough. Then there are mushroom pieces to count.. teacher says each child gets to add in 4 pieces to make the topping. ‘Hmmm…but how do we divide the grated cheese?’ We can’t count it. The children thought hard…’Pakai sendok aja’, offered a child. ‘That’s a very good suggestion’, said Teacher.

The pizza was all baked and ready to eat. 'Not just yet, Children! There’s still one more problem to solve.' Terutama untuk anak-anak TKB..’Pizzanya ada 2 loyang’…'Anak-anaknya di meja TKB ada 9..bagaimana kita membaginya?' Yoda and Putra volunteered to solve the problem. Finally! it was time to eat the pizza….mmmm so good sampai mama Rean ingin tahu resepnya…orang tua bisa meminta resepnya ke K. Tri.
