May Maddness!

 May was CRAZY busy and absolutly FLEW by...here are just a few of the things we did:

Mother's Day
Spirit Week
Buddy Week
Assessments
Earning another Brownie Party

Fractions in Action!

Our fraction unit was a blast! The students worked to find equal parts of a whole - some were so very clever with geoboards! We used Hershey bars to show fractions (and of course we ate them :) ) We made fractions of ourselves and classmates. We even talked about the fractions of gumballs in our very own gumball machines!

DASH game and Butterfly Farm field trips

Kimmel Farm was lucky enough to be able to take the entire school to a DASH game - we had a ball! For some it was their first experience at a ball game and they are still talking about. The students were very well-behaved so I treated them to Cotton Candy :)

 The week after a fun baseball game we headed to the Butterfly Farm for an experience like nothing else - some were scared, some were worried and some were excited. Once everyone stepped into the butterfly house their minds were at ease and they were AMAZED! We played, ate lunch and learned all about butterflies!
