Did you know that March 6th is National Oreo Cookie Day? In this installment of Miss Tammi's Not so Popular Holiday collection of classes we will use Oreos for more than just tasty snacks! (Don't worry there will also be tasty snacks!) We're going to challenge ourselves to complete a full 'schedule of classes' in just 60 minutes! History class: We will learn a few fun facts about America's favorite cookie! (spoiler: It's Oreos) And we will watch some historic Oreo cookie commercials (yes parents, the 80's are now historic) Math class: We will use Oreo cookies to demonstrate simple fractions Science class: We will use Oreo cookies to create models of the phases of the moon Health class: We will research nutritional information and make a graph to compare Oreos with other snack options English class: We will use our graphing activitiy as a resource, and the OREO opinion writing method to write a paragraph stating our opinion of the best snack option. (planning to be done in class, and writing portion to be assigned as homework) Lunch time: We will create our own Dirt Cake using crushed Oreos and chocolate (or your favorite flavor) pudding

Parental Guidance

We will be using a butter knife on the Oreo cream filling. Please use your judgement and comfort level to decide if addtional guidance is needed.
Supply List
A full package of Oreo cookies. Double Stuff will work best as many of our activities include twisting apart the cookie and carving the cream filling. A butter knife or plastic knife or toothpicks Print outs from the classroom A pencil Markers our snack: A large ziplock bag for crushing cookies A cup, clear works best Pudding of any flavor you like. chocolate looks most dirt like, but if you don't love chocolate pick whatever you think will be tasty!

Teacher expertise and credentials
I'm an avid reader, and an author.
I was never so surprised in all my life as when my son told me he "just wasn't into reading" and that he thought "writing was the worst part of school." I had to think quick before he missed out on all the magic that I knew was waiting for him within the pages of books.
And so family book club was born. And then books and friends, and soon my house was overflowing with reluctant readers bouncing up and down and waiting desperately to tell Miss Tammi all their favorite bits from last week's reading.
I have spent ten years coaxing children into eager readers and confident writers. I love to watch those smiles light up when they realize there is a whole hidden world inside of books. In that world they never need to try to fit in, or please other people. In that world they are welcomed, they are wanted, and they are inspired.Reviews
