Day 12



 I can't believe it's Thursday already! This week seems to be going by pretty quickly - and pretty smoothly I might add. Despite the visual anchor behind me, we're not multiplying fractions today kids! Well, maybe as part of review. We started our unit on capacity this week and my heart actually skipped a beat when I found an empty pint of mayo mixed with our recyclables. It's helpful to do more than just show a picture of what an ounce, cup, quart, pint and gallon looks like - so I started bringing in a few of these containers in from home, labeling them (and their customary equivalents) and sticking them onto my teacher cart for easy access. Perhaps I'll post a video next week showing you one of my favorite ways to practice customary conversions without pencil and paper.

Today's bow tie came by way of Facconable. They didn't donate this one, but at $15 at Tanger Outlets it sure felt like a gift. I'm kicking myself for not picking up some more.

On an unrelated note, there's a little bit more than a month left before I turn 33 on February 14. Can you guess what I want for my birthday? Yup, more bow ties. Join the cause and donate today!
