๐Ÿง๐Ÿ‘ถ BLUE or PINK? The math is in! ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿง
When your teacher is expecting, you donโ€™t just guessโ€”you do the math! ๐Ÿ“Šโœ๏ธ
Our K/1 mathematicians put their skills to the test today for a very special baby reveal! We turned our excitement into a hands-on Math Talk: counting predictions with tally marks, building a bar graph, and comparing the odds.
The final reveal was the sweetest partโ€”a bite into a surprise cupcake! ๐Ÿงโœจ
Congratulations to Mrs. Corry! We canโ€™t wait to meet the newest member of our school family. ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’—
