Friday, April 12

We had a fun filled Friday! We began with edible math where the students made No Bake Cookies. First, they had to double the recipe to see how much of each item I brought in. Then, they split up into four groups and quartered the recipe to find out how much each group needed. Finally, I did the part of the recipe that called for boiling and then handed it over to them to finish. Some recipes were more successful than others but I think they all learned and enjoyed it. After lunch, we celebrated completing Mr. Potato Head by getting our pillows and blankets out for Read Aloud. Ernie met his "dad" but only we-the readers-know this information. We are all holding our breath trying to figure out when the connection will be made and father and son reunited! Then, our celebration continued with reading independently and very comfortably. We finished up some workboard activities and our class alphabet book stylized after Chrs Van Allsburg. Our day concluded with Guidance in Mrs. Carlson's room with Ms. Vidic.
