Our Pre-K Hummingbird mathematicians are on a roll in math! We roll the die and take turns counting. We write the numerals and build sets of a feather. We are thankful for our smart little Hummingbird 'turkeys' . Roll on!

Camping Adventure in Math Land! Our 5th grader Hummingbirds had a blast exploring fractions in a fun and engaging way! They transformed our classroom into a cozy campsite, complete with a campfire, trail mix, and cupcake s'mores! While "roughing it," they tackled some challenging math concepts:
Fractions, Fractions, Fractions!
Multiplying and Dividing Fractions
Finding Equivalent Fractions
Calculating Area with Fractions
Converting Fractions to Mixed Numbers
We're so proud of their hard work and academic dedication! Keep up the great work Hummingbirds, you truly are math whizzes!
