Explorers Math
On Wednesday 9-28-2016 math specialist Ms. Cox Taught second Grade Explorers (Ms. Krieger's class) about odd and even numbers. First the students participated in counting exercises that incorporated vigorous movement to wake up their brains for the lesson ahead. A calming breathing exercise followed. Then students participated in a Smartboard lesson that clearly showed differences between even and odd numbers and the importance of being able to divide even numbers by two. It was an engaging math experience throughout the class session.

Watermelon and Cantaloupe are the Snacks for Today
Watermelon: Store your watermelon in a cool area (50-60 degrees F) until it's cut. Cut watermelon should be refrigerated (and be sure to wipe off your watermelon with a damp cloth prior to cutting it). Remember, try the rind blended with some lime juice rather than simply tossing it in the trash (choose an organic watermelon especially if you'll be eating the rind).
Cantaloupe: Low-calorie goodness! An average-sized cantaloupe contains just 100 calories. Who knew something so sweet could be good for you?
