We read the story "I Brought A Worm."  In the story, the little girl brings a worm to show and tell.  Can you guess what she did to the worm?  After hearing the story, we couldn't resist the temptation of trying a worm ourselves.

Invite card generated with Smilebox

Ice Cream Shop

After learning about pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters, we turned our classroom into an ice cream shop.  The students were given coins and had to pick their toppings off of a menu.  The students then had to count their money to purchace their orders based on the menu prices.  The orders were then turned in and the students ate their delicious ice cream sundaes. Great job!!!

Happy President's Day!!!
