Yesterday, Howe-Manning 4th graders got to experience one magical day! In honor of Mickey Mouse's 93rd birthday, we all headed to Disney (Disney Middleton that is). Students traveled around Disney's magical lands, meeting different characters and reviewing skills across the subject areas. Check out our Disney Map and click on each land to see what we were up to.
We started our day in Frontierland to practice our geography skills. For Mickey's birthday, Minnie Mouse planned him a spectacular trip around the Northeast Region of the United States. Students used iPads to scan QR codes which led them to letters from Minnie and clues for where she was taking Mickey on their trip.
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 the afternoon we headed to Adventureland (aka Math) with Mrs. Weeks, 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.
Until tomorrow 4th graders, we might not be at Disney but it is sure to be magical.
All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.
