We started with an eye opener that had students looking at fractions and where to place them on a number line. Ask your child to show you how. In writing we worked to explain about how we have demonstrated citizenship and character in learning. These comments will be used on our report cards. Outside we played a game called "Chuck The Chicken". Students work in teams to pass the ball overhand or underhand (alternating). The last person kicks it and then yells "chuck the chicken" while the other team huddles. One person would have to run around the group. Each lap counted for a point. In math we focused on EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS using fraction strips. Kamryn said "1/2 is equal to 2/4" and Io said "1/2 is equal to 3/6". This activity was a good opportunity to have your child visualize how fractions work or "match up" to other fractions. You can print off a copy of fractions strips following this link and having your child practice at home. Lastly, in social studies we began writing a postcard from the perspective of a child pioneer that was traveling on the Edson Trail in the early 1900's. They explain what they have seen, what they have experienced and how it's made them feel. We continue to focus on being specific in our writing, so the reader gets a strong picture in their mind.
