Hodges Herald: Monday Manic Freebies

I am going a bit link happy here!

So much great stuff going on in the blog world, I don't want to miss out!

One:
One of my classes is a Math lab and we are studying circles. Perfect for finally getting Pi Day celebrated since we were on spring break last week.

We have read both books about Sir Circumference.
We have played games and measured fake food. Click here to read that post and get that lesson for FREE! (keep reading there's another freebie)

So, today, we blew bubbles!!! We made circles and found the diameter, radius, circumference and area!

This is harder than it looks. You have to add food coloring for them to show up. I also added dish soap to make it more bubbly.

These were the finished products.

After making the bubbles, and a mess, they had to measure the diameter of six of their bubbles. Then they had to find the radius, the area and the circumference. They filled out this recording sheet. (Another FREEBIE)

It was pretty fun! Plus, we made pretty art and I hung them on my door for decorations.

Two:
My husband booked our summer trip to Vegas!

Three:
Monday, I had "weigh-out" for a weight loss challenge I was part of with my Zumba class. I worked really hard the previous week, attended 3 classes in one week and it paid off. (plus the previous eight weeks) On Wednesday, I found out I won 3rd place!!!! I was so excited!

Four:
I am seriously considering teaching summer school this summer for the first time in 17 years! Am I crazy? I haven't because I have kids and I LOVE LOVE LOVE summer break. But, my kids and I need routines and I am not a structured person.It's half days, Mon-Thurs for five weeks. Plus, the $$$ is soooo good, and I would love to have some spending $$ for #3. My good friend also offered to keep my kids for me so I wouldn't have the added expense of day care. That final decision will come soon.
