Mr. Murphy's class got into Iowa fall harvest today! The students dissected corn and practiced sorting, counting, weighing and measuring! π½ππ€π









Mr. Murphy's class has been learning about rectangles, and we folded origami like it was bread and pretended to make peanut butter sandwiches and decided to do the real thing today went very well. They may try ham and cheese next week as a pattern exercise. This is good prep for the language used in kitchen centers. We love integrating learning into our play activities!!
