Late post alert!!!! ๐จ๐ธ
Between snow days โ๏ธ and the craziness of jumping back into routine, we didnโt get a chance to postโbut this was WAY too good not to share!
Snowy Texas weather + sweet learning = the best combo โ๏ธ๐ฆ๐งก
Our 2nd graders have been busy cooking up learning across subjects! ๐ฉโ๐ณ๐จโ๐ณ
โ In math, students used hands-on bakery activities to model multiplication and division with equal groups and arraysโproving their learning was truly on a roll ๐๐
๐ In reading, they enjoyed a story about a baker and learned the value of hard workโbecause good things take time (and effort!) to bake ๐ฉ๐ช
To top it all off, students enjoyed ice cream sundaes donated by Ice Slingers ๐จ๐โthe perfect way to chill and celebrate all their hard workโฆ even with snow on the ground in Texas! โ๏ธ๐ค ๐ฆ
