In writing the students wrote a descriptive writing piece describing their favorite type of ice cream. Their writing included their favorite flavor(s), the perfect number of scoops, whether they prefer a cup or cone, what kind of cone, and the perfect toppings. After writing they created an art project that represented their perfect ice cream.
In math we worked on solving ice cream theme story problems.
On Friday the students wrote a procedural writing piece giving step by step directions explaining how to make the perfect ice cream sundae. I brought in vanilla and chocolate ice cream, whip cream, marshmallows, m&ms, crushed oreos and chocolate, strawberry and carmel syrup. Using these ingredients the students had to explain how to make their perfect ice cream sundae. At the end of the day they made their sundae to eat and enjoy!
