As John Andrew Holmes wisely said,
"Never tell a young person that something cannot be done. God may have been waiting
centuries for somebody ignorant enough of the impossible to do that thing."

Growing up!

41.2 Lbs and is 44 3/4 ".
41.2 lbs and is 44.5" tall.
 
  This past week we have been working with measurements; different measuring tools, different things to measure and different measuring systems. Students loved learning about their growing bodies. Students used a scale to find out their weight and then used a ruler to determine their height. They organized and recorded this data to be used for later discussion and activities.



     It was fun to see the growth that several students have had throughout the year. This student has been with HO4K for several years so he was able to predict how many inches he has grown since last summer. After predicting we learned that he has grown 2 3/4" in just a little over a year! Wow!

 41.2 lbs and is 45" tall

     After all students were measured and weighed we compared the sizes of friends. Students moved into order; light, medium, heavy, more than, less than or the same, short, medium tall or big, bigger, biggest etc. We can't wait to work more with measurement as we continue to track our growth and grow into "BIG KIDS!"
