Friday Favorites
Friday is heeeeere! π I always get so excited on Fridays. I love them. π Five of my favorites from the week are below! xo
One. I’ve really been trying to add more hands-on activities in the classroom. Students seem to really struggle in 5th grade with understanding what a fraction actually is. They can add them, subtract, multiply, and divide them, but to really understand what a fraction is…is very different. I found these foam circles last year and got so excited to use them right away! I had students compare fractions with the foam pieces so they could visually see the difference, instead of just on paper. They loved it. π
Two.I love our church so much. It does an amazing job of reaching out locally and globally. Two weeks ago, they asked everyone to help, “stuff the truck.” There was a large truck that a volunteer was driving to help with the hurricane. The truck was packed and the church gave so much! I love how giving everyone is. π
Three.I mentioned yesterday on Instagram how I was making Blueberry Crisp (which I ate yesterday morning with my Grandma). So sweet! π You can also find a twist on Blueberry Crisp with my Blueberry Crumble recipe, here!Β
Four.
In case you needed this reminder today. π
Five.There’s nothing quite like putting some fresh soap on the sink and loooooving the scent. I bought these three scents (basil,Β honeysuckle,Β lavender)Β and love each and every one! It’s the little things in life. π Happy Friday friends!

As a math professor in south Florida, who is still trying to help students make peace with fractions in college, thank you for going above and beyond to help your students and for all your church’s donations. Have a great weekend, Stephanie!
