What's the big deal?


I'm trying out a unit that I've never formally done before-"Big and Small, Long and Short."  I know that your kids know the difference between big things and small things, but I'm using this opportunity to gauge mathematical concepts and talk to them about several related things:

-Many small things make a big thing!  The kids worked together on a huge contact paper/tissue paper mosaic! 
-Talking to them about David and Goliath.  Most, if not all, know this story.  I want them to see that God is the hero-not David.
-Language-what other words mean Big and Small?

I'm really enjoying this unit!

  1. Fun! Olivia told us about this activity at the dinner table while we each talked about our days! (Leo usually just answers yes and no questions!)
