I wanted to show how you can integrate art into the math curriculum. I wanted to use the concept of sharing to provide a meaningful context with which to teach number sense, and in particular division. I wanted children to know that math is everywhere, so I have created a simulated pizza party to learn about math! Students could create their own pizza's to work with fractions and incorporating elements of the arts to do this is a fun way to assist learning.

Eggbert, the Slightly Cracked Egg

I enjoyed seeing and hearing the story Eggbert, the Slightly Cracked Egg. In addition to being a fun and well illustrated story about a slightly cracked egg's adventure when he is made to leave the fridge because cracked eggs "don't belong", Eggbert, the Slightly Cracked Egg has a message. The moral of the story is that it's ok to be who you are, even if others tell you you don't belong. There is always good in everyone and if you have the confidence to be who you are, you will be more happy and others will want to be around you. I could see many uses for this story in a classroom setting. It could be used to teach both language arts and social studies lessons.
