I just explained line segments to my fourth grader while laying outside on the hammock while enjoying an ice cream sandwich. When I was growing up my math lessons were never like that. My lessons at Cold Water Elementary always were at a desk, usually the smallest desk in the room, because I was the shortest kid in the class.
While I don't plan on teaching in the hammock on a regular basis, it was a good way to let my fourth grader know that learning can take place anywhere. We had a nice moment while doing math, hopefully we will keep building on it. Now she may always remember when mom let her do math outside and got chocolate ice cream sandwich on her workbook.

The kindergartner is also having fun with math. Yesterday she counted down her snacks and played with geometric shapes.
She couldn't wait to do more school today until she reached her melt down point and I had her go take a nap. I didn't get nap time at Cold Water Elementary either. Hopefully nap time both teacher and student makes for a better afternoon. I may even take mine in the hammock.
