Numbers Pyramid & Tea

Grace made a number pyramid at school today. She's been doing these as homework on sheets with some numbers already filled it but today she made her own in school. They are really easy and fun to do! Just take small post it notes and think of a large number. Then add and subtract down. Grace decided to make a letter pyramid for her sister with letters that spell M-A-M-A and P-A-P-A. I think she was trying to work her own name in there too.

The kids have also been enjoying cups of tea at school. Because so many kids have colds and coughs this time of year the teacher thought a nice cup of hot tea might help make them feel better. An email was sent inviting parents to send kids to school with their own tea cups so that disposable cups didn't have to be used. Less unnecessary waste. Grace visited a nearby recycling plant as a field trip in Kindergarten and I think the school here does a fantastic job reinforcing green practices.
