This week, I *finally* remembered to take some pictures.  The kids were flinging marshmallows with catapults and measuring how far they flew.  I added in some activities with aim at the end, assigning points to different achievements.  It tends to get a little chaotic, but the kids seem to have a great time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sonderbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Marshmallow1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sonderbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Marshmallow1.jpg\" alt=\"Marshmallow1\" width=\"250\" height=\"421\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonderbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Marshmallow1.jpg 250w, https:\/\/sonderbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Marshmallow1-178x300.jpg 178w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sonderbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Marshmallow2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sonderbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Marshmallow2.jpg\" alt=\"Marshmallow2\" width=\"341\" height=\"303\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonderbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Marshmallow2.jpg 341w, https:\/\/sonderbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Marshmallow2-300x266.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 341px) 100vw, 341px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sonderbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Marshmallow3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sonderbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Marshmallow3.jpg\" alt=\"Marshmallow3\" width=\"423\" height=\"302\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonderbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Marshmallow3.jpg 423w, https:\/\/sonderbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Marshmallow3-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 423px) 100vw, 423px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sonderbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Marshmallow4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sonderbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Marshmallow4.jpg\" alt=\"Marshmallow4\" width=\"319\" height=\"432\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonderbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Marshmallow4.jpg 319w, https:\/\/sonderbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Marshmallow4-221x300.jpg 221w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 319px) 100vw, 319px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Funny how exhausted I was at the end!<\/p>\n<p>Bedtime Math has two books out with life-related math explorations, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\/Childrens_Nonfiction\/bedtime_math.html\">Bedtime Math<\/a><\/em> and <em>Bedtime Math 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>A huge thank you to them for the work they do and for providing so much fun to the kids at our library!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"none\" data-via=\"Sonderbooks\">Tweet<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, my Prime Factorization Cardigan was featured on Bedtime Math!
