The Good. The Random. The Fun. v. 21

The Good: 
I flew out for an amazing whirlwind 27ish hours in Las Vegas for a very special bar mitzvah. It was a fast and furious, but it was good to get away for such a fun event mid-week, a marathon mini-vacation of sorts!

The Random: 
I broke down and got timehop. I had fun seeing this pop up earlier in the week. My trademark photo is 7 years old!

The Fun:  
Fractions are SO fun, right? Well they are in my class. Week one into our fraction unit and I have fraction experts. We've learned while playing fraction bingo, exploring the fractions in our names, using fraction circles to create fractions from dominoes, playing dominoes, and more!

Fractions sure do look fun in your class. Love the airplane views.

If you can take math and make it fun, you are a miracle worker. Your trip to Las Vegas is perhaps a few hours short of the perfect amount of time to visit there (unless you have family or friends there - then perhaps a little longer is in order).

I don't remember fractions being so much fun. We talked about pie but didn't get any!

Looked like a fun and quick trip to Vegas and for a great cause. You must be so proud.

That was a fast and furious trip, but glad you could go enjoy it for all it was worth!

I'm with you on they grow up so quick! Think of which I'd have a hard time remembering the fractions I learnt at school, obviously I was never taught fraction bingo, good on you!
Thanks for hosting

Timehop is a lot of fun! sometimes I don't like it because it's too nostalgic!
