Kiwano Fruit....

In class today, Mitchell brought an extremely different type of fruit.  It is called Kiwano Fruit.  Most students sampled it.  Some described it as "gross", "kind of like a grape", and kind of like a kiwi".

In Math today, we used Base Ten Materials to illustrate the meaning of place value for numbers.  Students rotated through six stations, placing Base Ten Materials on a Place Value Mat.  Each student had to record the number of rods (Tens) and unit cubes (Ones) to make a number.
