Rose Drive Preppy K students balance math, movement and literature

Mrs. Helm’s Preppy K class at Rose Drive Elementary School has been busy not just counting apples but also balancing them. After reading the Dr. Seuss classic, ” Ten Apples Up on Top,” students were then challenged to see how many “apples” (or in this case, beanbags) they could balance on their heads. While no one was actually able to balance ten “apples” like the characters in the story, several managed to balance four “apples” on top of their heads, while one student even managed five – impressive! After completing the challenge, students were then asked to demonstrate their achievements using math trays and counters. What a fabulous way to “balance” math with movement and literature!
