![]() Today was busy and we are tired. As the sun stays out longer and we play harder it makes the final push to the end of June a big one! Hang in there grade 4 :) Students began their morning using pattern blocks to build/represent fractions. They recognized that fractions needed to be made up of equal parts. Some students initially made really interesting shapes but recognized they were not going to be able to accurately reflect a fraction. ![]() Moving forward with fractions we looked at how a fraction can make up part of a set of objects. An example could include looking at nine cats all together, with three of them being white and 6 of them being brown, students would say that 1/3 of 9 are white. We also had a very fun music class today as we were able to join the Kindergarten class playing music and singing games. Thank you to Miss Lysak for inviting us and for Kindergarten to letting us share in the fun. As part of our exploration around the trail from Edson to Grand Prairie, students are creating post card artwork representing what life on the trail would be like. Students looked closely at several old photographs, observing what the wagons looked like, how many horses or ox pulled a wagon, what people were dressed like, etc. This artwork will go along with the writing we have done the past two days. On June 6th, students are encouraged to bike to school. Check out the poster below for more information: Reminders:
