Math: The estimation long division problems were excellent! Multi-step problems can be tricky; just make sure you read the question carefully, and do not get rid of extra informtion when you actually need it.
Science: The construction paper soil model was a great way to help us remember what soil is made of. Having students act as water and air going through the different types of soil was a great visual for us to remember how much water each soil retains.
