How is ice cream made? In yesterday’s lessons we learned about where dairy milk comes from, and how calcium is important for our bones. Listen to ‘From Milk to Ice Cream‘ and see how that milk goes from cow to the ice cream you buy at the store or ice cream shop. Then answer these questions about the text you listened to. If you need some remembering what main idea and key or supporting details are, watch this video as well.

We worked with fractions earlier this week, and today’s worksheet we will do some more work with fractions using ice cream, of course, and some other items as well!
