1 + 1 = 5 and Other Unlikely Additions - Our Math Knowledge POPS!

Geometry and counting can be very entertaining!  We designed our own creative number sentences and we were able to show off our knowledge of shapes (sides, faces, and vertices).  Our math bulletin board caused many students and staff to stop, read, and think!  Here are a few examples and the book that inspired our display!  (Did you notice the 3D shapes turning our 2D display into a 3D surprise?  Our math knowledge POPS!)

1+1=5 and Other Unlikely Additions

The Worm Lady Cometh!

Last week we had the pleasure of meeting "the Worm Lady"!  She taught the whole school about the value of worms and she filled our minds with wonderful wormy facts!  Then we got our own personal  worm presentation where we got to see and touch the worms.  We were up close and personal!  The students loved finding the baby worms.  I kid you not...when the students moved away from the table I looked over to see a baby worm (no longer than a 1.5cm) stand straight up!  (...As if to say..."Hey where did everybody go?")

We are now very proud to have own WORM FARM!  I must say I have no noise complaints!  I know what you're thinking...I have no smell complaints either!  We are very careful to add our 1:30 ratio of food to paper and we give them 'just enough' water and calcium each week.  Here are some pictures of our new wiggly friends!
