Easter Fun

Last Friday, students searched the room for Easter candy. Once they found 10 pieces of candy, they had to sort the treats into two groups - chocolate and not chocolate. Students then had to show the two groups using fractions. Math had never been so YUMMY! Thank you to all the parents how donated the treats!

Skype Visit From Riley Hospital

We were able to talk with one of our classmates while they were staying at Riley Hospital this week. It was so great for the students to check in with their classmate and it was wonderful for her to be able to visit with the class for a few minutes. EVERYONE is ready for her to return to school!
