Snowman Multiplication!

We had a fun math activity today after our 2 days of testing. We read the story, Snowmen At Night. And then we worked on our multiplication facts for 2s, 4s, and 8s. Every snowman needed to have 2 eyes, 4 buttons, and 8 pieces of coal for the mouth. When the students partnered up, they had to pick a card to see how many snowmen they needed to draw on their paper.

Flowers For Kids

Today I had Enchanted Florist come in to do a Flowers for Kids lesson. Kristine, from Enchanted Florist, taught the class about different types of flowers. They learned that roses have thorns to protect themselves from animals, but also to store water. They learned about how to care for flowers. Did you know that there is a 5 second rule with flowers too? As soon as a flower is cut, you need to get it in water before the bottom dries up to protect the flower. They also learned about the art of bouquet making. First you have a filler, then you get a line or two to make your bouquet tall. After that, you grab a focal flower and finish it off with some greens. The class even learned how to make flower food! There are 3 ingredients including water....see if they remember the other 2!
