Skittles Math

Skittles math rocks! There isn't much to explain as the pictures basically speak for themselves. We used some projects I found to correlate with what Annie and Josie are doing in math on teacherspayteachers.com and just made Luna a couple of sheets to go with the multiplication she's working on. This was very popular!

Mantis Exam

Luna had the good fortune to find this perfectly desiccated mantis while playing in the garden. What a great opportunity to really get to examine one up close. This was a serious job for her! She found it in the field guide, confirming that it was a Carolina Mantis based on geography and its measurements. Then she drew it, wrote about it, checked out every marking on its body and searched for YouTube videos of mantids devouring other insects. That's my girl.
