Today at Quarles ES, I made a new buddy in kindergarten. I was only in the class for 20 min, but when I left, he hugged me and told me he would miss me. I thought it was cute.
But, you know... I actually miss him already too. ❤️

Fractions are fun at Quarles ES

Me too, Leo! 🤩

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... if I could be anyone, I'd be a kindergartner at John Kerr ES in Winchester, VA.

This is Concept Circle 2.0 that I designed.
Here is one sample task:
If the pattern block in middle circle has an area of one unit, please show (in the outer sections) two different examples of area measurement indicated on the sticky notes.
Task allows Ss to see many math relationships all at once.
