Number Lines and Grains

Many thanks to Alycia Steinberg for being our Mystery Reader last week.  The girls loved hearing all of the different stories!



For the past few days, the girls have been working in math centers, all based on solving addition sentences.

Then the girls learned about the grains food group in our science lesson today.  They listened to a non-fiction book, then discussed different grains that they eat.  We then put out five grains on different tables: oatmeal, bulgar, barley, bread, and rice.  The girls conducted a "sensory" test where they had to walk around, feel the grains, and decide which table held which grain.  Make sure you ask your daughter if she got any of her guesses correct!
