A Taste from the Islands

While we were studying landforms...our discussion of islands came up and I always share my life in Hawaii when I was in the second grade. This is always a fun story for me to share and one I think my students enjoy hearing. I brought them some Li Hing Mango to sample as one of my childhood treats and told them why children ate it. Be sure to ask your children about the experience,...they wrote about it in their journals. Great fun!

Math "Team Time"

A couple of times per week, we have "Team Time", and the children work hard at solving math problems together cooperatively! This can be a challenge from time to time. Looking for clue words and remembering related facts is always helpful. We get better and better each time we work on this. It is amazing how much they can learn from each other.
