Dividing Fractions Video

We have been loving this teacher's video about dividing fractions. We are trying to remember, though, why the catchy phrase works to do the math? How can you prove it? See if your child can use a visual strategy to solve the problem 3 ÷ 1/2 , then prove it with the song's strategy!

Worm Watching

Today we got to get to know some of our wiggly worms! We scooped them up, cleaned them off, and set them on a damp paper towel for observation. Lots of them tried to find some shady coverings!

A Lesson in Red Worms

Today we learned just how determined little Red Wiggler worms can be to escape after transport. Our next Science unit is all about worms and composting! We got a couple thousand worms delivered and had to get them settled in temporary compost bins until our official bins arrive. When we left yesterday they were covered and secured (with air holes)....or so we thought! This morning I came in to a big surprise. Don't worry, most of the worms were okay and are now securely resting and settled in with some snacks and nice soil!
