    Eating, Drinking, and Linking…Oh My!

    June 3, 2013

    Happy Monday! I’m linking up with one of my favorite bloggers- Christy at Teaching Tales Along the Yellow Brick Road!

    I’m sorry to say that I haven’t been very crafty lately, so I’ll have to link up with Tara at 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made-It another week… 😛

    For those of you that like Thai food and Crock Pots, you’ll love this recipe! The dish is Coconut Curry Chicken. Here is my finished product:

    Ingredients:
    2 pounds of skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
    half of a yellow onion, chopped
    1 cup baby carrots, sliced in half
    1 clove minced garlic
    3 Tbsp of Pampered Chef Thai Red Curry Rub
    1 can coconut milk
    1 cup chicken broth
    1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
    1 zucchini, chopped
    1 cup mushrooms, sliced
    1 Tbsp cornstarch
    1 avocado
    Jasmine rice

    Directions:

    • Cook chicken, onion, carrots, garlic, Curry Rub, coconut milk, and chicken broth on low for 4 hours, stirring occasionally. 
    • Add bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms to the slow cooker and cook for an additional 45 minutes. 
    • Stir in cornstarch to thicken sauce. Cook for an additional 15 minutes.
    • Serve over Jasmine rice. Top with sliced avocado. Sprinkle with Curry Rub for additional spice/heat.
    This was seriously so easy to make! I LOVE the Pampered Chef spices. They are so flavorful! Go link up with Christy and share what you are cooking this summer! 🙂 

    Also, don’t forget, my SECOND Mentor Sentence Unit sale will end today! Make sure to go grab it up! 🙂

    Workshop Wednesday: Edible Math

    January 22, 2014

    Welcome to Workshop Wednesday! Today, we are sharing the ways we use food or candy in math. I LOVE edible math, don’t you? Well, ok, let’s face it… I love edible anything. 😛

    We are currently learning about multiples of fractions… This is always a difficult thing to teach- not because they don’t know how to multiply, but because of the way the problems are worded. There are two types of word problems they see, and they have to be able to MODEL both. The first way is easy- If 8 people will each eat 1/4 of a pizza, how many pizzas do we need to order? This is easy for them to show in a model- 8 fourths… but then there are the parts of a whole problems that just blow their mind. For example: If I have 6 cookies, and 1/3 of them are chocolate chip, how many are chocolate chip? According to the standard, they can’t just multiply 6 x 1/3 to get 2. They have to understand what they are doing- the MODEL… and luckily, one of my fabulous partner teachers came up with a fun Skittles Fractions work page!! (Can you tell we all love food on my grade level??) I bought the fun size packs of Skittles, and each kiddo got two packs.

    Then, we began figuring out what fractional parts of wholes would be with our Skittles!

    We use what I call the “box method.” I don’t know if that’s really what it should be called, but my kids can do it, so that’s all I care about. 😛 This activity had the boxes drawn in for them at first to help scaffold. They knew the WHOLE rectangle was 20, and the denominator in the fraction is 4, so that tells us how many boxes we need to cut the “whole” into… then the numerator tells us how many of those boxes to count to find our answer.

    By the end of the activity, they had to draw the rectangle, and then decide how many boxes to cut it into, as well as how many should go in each box. They really did an awesome job! And they were super excited that they got to eat their Skittles when we finished. :o)

    Since I didn’t create the page, it wouldn’t be right for me to share it- BUT it would be super easy for you to create if you want to do this activity too! Use that “shapes” tool in Microsoft to draw your rectangles! :o)
