St Patrick's Day was last week so we had a fun art project and made leprechauns. So Cute!

In math we are learning about fractions! I wanted to start out simple so I had the kids make a cookie. What kids don't like cookies right? This week we only learned about halves so I had them draw a line down the middle so it was in half and write below who they are sharing their cookie with.

Reading with iPads

Today the kids worked in groups to discover and interact with iPads while focusing on the different types of books it has to offer. Many of the books can be read by the student, read aloud to users, and include interactive activities that strengthen reading skills.
