Worms

Our worms have arrived!!  Next week we will be learning all about worms.  I am sure the kids will love it!  We will be doing lots of fun things with them and maybe even a few activities with some gummy worms as well.  

Part Part Whole

Today we read Give Me Half!  in Math.  Then we colored some pictures cut them in half to show how the boy and the girl share in the story.
