Math Blog

Hello everyone! I have chosen a great series that is all about math, the series is called Pigs will be Pigs by Amy Axeirod. I remember these series of books when I was in school and I remember how much fun they were. One of the stories of the series is a family of pigs decides that they were really hungry and wanted to go out to dinner, but the only problem is they didn't have enough money so they decide to go on a hunt to see if they can find money so they can go to dinner to feed there hungry bellies. After they searched all over the house in the couch cushions they finally came up with enough money, but once they got there they knew they had to add up everything that they were getting to make sure they  had enough money to get everything there hungry bellies desired. The book had a menu with the prices on it so that's a good way for kids to get involved and help add up the total to see if they will have enough money for everything. In the end the pigs got there bellies full and they enjoyed there yummy dinner.

 

These books are perfect for any classroom they have so many fun stories and activities for the student to be involved in. That's the reason why I love these books and I remember them from school, and its also nice that you can learn so much from them and have a fun and enjoyable time whiled doing it. But I highly recommend these series to be in your classroom I promise your students will love them. Its a great way for them to solve math problems, learn about money, and also learn about life skills has well because if you go in a restaurant  and only have a certain amount to spend you have to limit yourself on what you get and it might not always be what you exactly want.

Nonfiction

If your an animal lover you will love this nonfiction book and I promise you that! This book is a great book to add to your collection, this book talks about how people go inside or go undercover once rain starts up. This book discusses how it similar to animals when it comes to rain, because different animals have different ways and things they do when it starts to rain. It talks about the different habitats that animals live in such as the wet lands, forests, fields and more and it discusses how and what each animal does when it starts to rain, you'd figure that they would all do the same thing but your wrong. The book then talks about once the rain ends and how everyone goes back to what there doing, its crazy how animals and humans do things the same they don't like to get rained on just like we do.

This book is perfect for your classroom because it talks about the different animals and their environments, your students will love looking through this book and looking at the different pictures of the animals and where they live. The students could talk about some of the animals they may have seen before and figure out what type of environment they live in.

But I highly recommend this book to your students because it has so much to offer I don't know about you but I'm a sucker for a good book with pictures and this book has some beautiful pictures throughout it. So next time your out at the store pick up this book for your classroom or just for yourself if you want, I promise you wont be disappointed.

Traditional Literature

 This week's post is all about Traditional Literature, and that means I picked one of my favorite childhood books to talk to you guys about. Cinderella lives In a far far away kingdom, Cinderella is living happily with her mother and father until her mother dies. Cinderella's father remarries a cold, cruel woman who has two daughters, Drizella and Anastasia. When the father dies, Cinderella's wicked stepmother turns her into a virtual servant in her own house. Meanwhile, across town in the castle, the King determines that his son the Prince should find a suitable bride . So the King invites every eligible maiden in the kingdom to a fancy dress ball, where his son will be able to choose his bride. Cinderella has no suitable party dress for a ball, but her friends the mice, birds, and Godmother lend a hand in making her one. When she walked into the ball she took every ones breath away including the prince and all the girls were jealous of her including her evil step sisters. Cinderella was enjoying herself so much she almost forgot what the Godmother had told her about the spell, so she quickly left the prince at the ball and ran away but she left something behind and the prince happen to find it after she had gone it was her glass slipper and he was determine to find her so he could give it back to her and tell her how he feels about her. 

This is all I'm going to tell you for now because I don't want to ruin the story for you so you'll have to read it and found out the ending for yourself. I think this is a great story to read for all age groups, and it shows that no matter where you come from there can always be a happy ending and a happily ever after !
