We began our morning with a math "Eye Opener" using a number line. We looked at equivalent fractions using 'fraction strips' and compared fractions on a number line. Aliza said 5/10 is greater than 3/10. Kali and Mikayla said 2/8 is less than 2/4.
In writing, we reflected on our Celebration of Learning. The students had a great time sharing their ideas/legacies, visiting the photobooth, and indulging in the delicious treats. Thank you to all the grade 4 students for doing such an amazing job! During a sketching lesson in art, students learned about 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes. We have been focusing on understanding how 3-D shapes have edges, points and faces, while the students described 2-D shapes as "flat". When sketching in our visual journals, we also looked at where shadows would lie depending on the direction of the light. Outside we played a game called "prison break" with Ms. Maher's class during phys. ed. The object was to run across the field without being tagged by a member of the opposing team. Hula-hoops acted as safe zones. Ask me more about it. Students played a game in math, with a partner, to understand how fractions are connected to decimals. Some students also began to make connections to money. Reminders: June 13 - Popcorn Snack June 14 - School Council Meeting June 15 - Fun Lunch & Family Dance June 28 - Last Day of School
