This is a post I transferred over from my previous blog:
Since the fall we have been working on
memorizing our multiplication facts through 12x12.
Students that mastered all facts by last
Thursday received a special invitation to our class "Popalicious Picnic Popcorn
Party" (tying in alliterations even in math class haha).
The other math teachers just bought some
popcorn, popped it, played a movie and let the kids eat it while watching the
movie
. . .I on the other hand have a "Go big or Go
home" personality.
So we moved all the tables in the room, brought
pillows and blankets to school,
voted on a movie to watch then got to eat lunch
on our blankets
and have a popcorn topping bar.
Here are the toppings my students
brought:
I put them all into
brown bags and spread them out around the room.
My students
travelled around the room putting whatever they wanted on their popcorn, then
they closed the bag, shook it up and devoured it on their blanket :)
They LOVED it!
The Parents even
told me how excited their kids were and
how thankful
they were I let them bring in whatever they wanted
to make it special
for them! :)
