Oh what fun it is to ADD!

We are learning to add in Math. We started by talking about how adding is taking two groups and combining them to see how many there are in all. Now we are talking about the plus and equal signs and how we use them in adding. To help them, we used Popsicle sticks and made a plus and equal signs. Then we did some addition problems with our frogs to help us understand what adding means.

Brazil Carnaval Masks

We learned about Brazil during our Traveling Unit and one thing we learned was that there is a big annual festival called Carnaval. We made masks with lots of colors and feathers like we saw in a clip about Carnaval.

Mexican Hat Dance with maracas

They had a blast watching a real Mexican Hat dance online and then partner dancing it themselves with the maracas they made in class! It was fun hearing the wonderful Mexican music and dancing while pretending we were in Mexico (if only the weather would have been like in Mexico!)
