We have been enjoying the different stories written by Kevin Henkes. In several of his books, Mr. Henkes, writes about Lilly, one of my students favorite characters. Lilly is a very fun and creative mouse. She appears in the following books: Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse, Chester's Way, Lilly's Big Day, and Julius, The Baby Of The World.
After reading and discussing those books, we celebrated Lilly's birthday during our math time. My students were learning about fractions. This was a perfect opportunity to make another connection with Lilly. Students were asked to draw cakes and demonstrate the many ways they can cut the cake in 4 equal parts to share with friends. Students decorated their cake in their own imaginative way.
The following is a second way to do this same activity! Thank you for your e-mails/comments! Have a wonderful week!
