Mr. Gallon and Easter Eggs

A few weeks ago, we learned all about capacity (how many cups are in a gallon, quart and pint). To help us learn about it, we made Mr. Gallon. Then we sang a song that helped us as it. The song goes like this (sung to 'Dem Bones):
4 quarts equal a gallon
4 quarts equal a gallon
4 quarts equal a gallon
So roll baby roll,
Boom, boom boom

8 pints equal a gallon
8 pints equal a gallon
8 pints equal a gallon
So roll baby roll,
Boom, boom, boom

16 cups equal a gallon
16 cups equal a gallon
16 cups equal a gallon
So roll baby roll,
Boom, boom, boom





Then for Easter, we made paper Easter eggs. The students decorated their eggs so uniquely! They turned out great and very festive! :)

Leprechaun Traps

In March, we made leprechaun traps to catch those sneaky leprechauns. Students were told that they first needed to attract their leprechauns and then they needed to trap them. They did a FANTASTIC job! Have fun looking at the various traps!
