Almost Healthy Store
What a week we had! We worked hard on math calculations, and studied 1910-1920 throughout reading and history. To finish off our math calculations, I brought in fruit and vegetables and gave each item a price, and each student an amount of money to spend. They had to write a list, and add the value, and then calculate how much change they should receive. I figured out that I have some THRIFTY students, spending every penny down to the last one. It was awesome! The kiddoes did really well, and I can conclude that bananas are popular, and oranges are too! On another note, it is always interesting to see how the students respond to historical situations they have never heard of before. I look forward to their meaningful discussions. To hear 8 year olds discuss problems of the world, and respond to their research is so inspiring. Enjoy the photos!

Colcannon
In honor of St. Patrick's day, we partook in "colcannon." Colcannon is the traditional Irish meal of
cabbages and mashed potatoes. Thank you to a sweet class Grandma, we had delicious mashed potatoes- and I boiled the cabbage.I was impressed that some of these kids literally cleaned their plates! It was a fun day... Especially hearing what they thought cabbages smelled like.
