kemdupuis, how did you do the oreo music theory lesson? I covered minor, major, augmented, and diminished chords with my 5th graders this week and remembered the oreo lesson. Did you use only regular stuff? Double stuff? A combination? Also, did you have any gluten intolerant students?
Oh! Hi! Yeah, I used regular Oreos to represent minor 3rds and double stuff to represent major 3rds. So, a major triad would have a double stuff on the bottom and a regular on top. Augmented would be two double stuffed, etc..
I quizzed them and had them construct the triads correctly. Whoever did it right first got to eat the cookies. All the other kids keep playing until they get one right too
Thank you! I don't know if I'll test them with it but it's a great way to practice and understand. Plus, cookies. I'm hoping to find an equivalent for a student who has celiacs.
mrsmonogrammed did you get it ordered? I just ordered the vintage cars and when I went in to see the selection available (and show my mom the floral one) there were only 4 choices left (out of 7) and that one wasn't one of the choices.
I didn't:( I waffled too long and it was Out Of Stock...I knew I was playing with fire- it said "less than 15 left" when I started considering it. My marriage will probably thank me though;)
Welp.. He's not miraculosly just fine. DS1 has strep throat. Mother of the year, that's me. Hey, at least I followed through and took him to his ped appointment even though I was sure he was faking. I just hope the baby doesn't get it.
Don't feel bad. I put off taking DS to the ped for a few days until day care made me because I didn't think he really had pink eye - it really wasn't red that I could see for those first few days, and he wasn't bothered by it. Turns out, he had pink eye. Oops! Hope your DS feels better soon!

Most of my students are on gluten free diets and I have purchased GF "oreos" before. It depends on the family but sometimes I ask the parents to send in the GF version of something we're using for me since they usually have what we need at home.
Thanks! I'll look when I go to Wegmans. They have a decent GF section. I've bought things for other students before as a reward but wasn't sure if there was an oreo equivalent. I was just figuring out how many oreos I'd need to do this with 2 classes and am worried about what the cashier will think when I buy 14 containers of oreos. Maybe I'll only do it with one class...
