Holiday's Around the World.....

As we "travel around the world," we are learning the about the various holiday customs that take place.
On this particular day, we traveled to Sweden and talked about St. Lucia. The girls are wearing wreaths of candles and the boys are wearing star hats. Ask  you child to tell you about this custom.

She has a four year old brother, Alex, and a dog, Bailey. I also know that Abby has been dancing and preparing for a part in this years, Nutcracker ballet. We can't wait to see her perform later in December!

Learning About Place Value can be YUMMY!

 This week we learned about place value using base 10 blocks. Another way to practice this skill is to use marshmallows, toothpicks, and Fruit Loops to make a number. Each marshmallow represents a place value (hundreds, tens, ones) and the Fruit Loops on the toothpicks tell how many of each. Students are making their own numbers and writing them on the sheet. Everyone enjoyed marshmallows for a treat!
