Happy Birthday Mickey!

Written by Monkey Business Employees: Ava v M & Brielle & Vanessa

We started off the morning by saying Happy 92nd Birthday to Mickey. We all knew that we had a fun day ahead of us. Before we got started we got on a plane with Mrs. Duerden's class and took off. Wait, where are we? We’re in Disneyland! Mr. Drouin helped us start the day by telling us Disney jokes. We were all cracking up!



We got a map of Disney and each land was a different subject. (Click below to check it out.) 

The day starts with social studies but it wasn't normal, it was magical! Minnie Mouse planned a birthday trip for Mickey around the Northeast Region. We used everything we've learned about the Northeast to take Mickey on an epic vacation.

                       

We headed off to Fantasyland for reading (after a quick spin on the teacups). We practiced the different parts of speech with a digital hunt. In Adventureland (aka Math), we had so much fun spending $200 to buy Mickey birthday presents. We had to round, add, and even multiply to get as close to spending all $200 as we could.

What just happened? The day just ended! Wow, that was a fast fun day some might even say magical. Everyday is magical with Miss Klipfel.                                                                                           

All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.
