Today we began with several math questions that reviewed concepts we had covered earlier in the year. Students looked at numbers in written form, least to greatest, rounding numbers, and the value of money. See below. Students also were introduced to fractions. After briefly looking at how to count money we discussed how this was connected to fractions and decimals. Students focused on the vocabulary: whole, denominator, and numerator. They had to create a 'quilt' and a 'quilt' for a friend answering the question: What fraction of this quilt is colour #1, colour #2, colour #3, etc. The students organizing the first New Brighton clothing swap were very successful. Students brought in gently used clothing items and received a ticket in return. They could then use the tickets to trade in for a piece of clothing. The kids had a great time shopping and were very excited to share the items they no longer needed or wanted! Check out some of the photos below. Lastly, just a reminder that every Wednesday students are encouraged to bring a wasteless lunch and are encouraged to walk, bike, or roll to school!
Reminders: May 26 - Volunteer Tea May 29 - Library Bus (last day)
