Wednesday

Greetings parents!

We just finished up our final day in Disney World, and what a day it was! We started off today with a lesson in our hotel. Our lesson was all about finding the mean (average number in a set), the median (the middle number in a set) and the mode (the most occuring number in a set). And since that all seemed so pointless on its own, we went to Disney World to really apply what we learned! Using the numbers from the days before, we found the mean, median, and mode of the number of times different rides were ridden. It makes math a lot more fun when you find a reason to use it in real life!

After we were done using math in the park, we were in for a real treat! We got to go see Finding Nemo: The Musical to see what a real stage performance is like. Even though you might think of Finding Nemo as a kiddie show, we all had a blast watching it!

We are all really excited for tomorrow. We will be having a lesson about space, then taking a trip to the Kennedy Space Center where we will tour the center and get to see real life space ships up close. We are all anxious to be in the same building where so many history making voyages were launched.

Hope you don't miss your students too much!
