My dentist at Image Dental donated 2 adult teeth to our classroom so we could do a little experiment on them.

As a culminating activity to our fraction unit, we read the Hershey Fraction book and each student received their very own chocolate bar. We divided it into 12 equal parts. The students first got to eat 1/12 of their bar. We moved to 2/11 then 3/9. Once they had eaten half of their bar we divided the 6 pieces in 3 equal groups and they were told to eat 1/3. They were reducing fractions and didn't even realize it. It was so much fun. Some students couldn't even finish their chocolate bar. They had trouble eating 12/12 or 1 whole!

I hope everyone had a fabulous Holiday Season! We have been back to school now for two weeks. I have noticed a lot of growth from a majority of the students. Most of them are reading at grade level expectation. I want them reading above grade level expectation. I want them ready for the fast pace of third grade. You will notice that most of their work is going to appear as science or social studies, in fact I am going to be focusing on non-fiction reading and integrating those subjects into our reading time. Assessing student work will be tougher. For example, vocabulary words will
