Monday, December 2nd

Welcome back!  I hope you had a wonderful break!  We got off to a busy start working with grids to compare fractions and determine equivalence.  Students were challenged to create grids with specific dimensions.  The divided their grids into equal parts and shaded a specified portion.  They created equivalent fractions using their grids.  Ask your child to tell you more!

We were able to complete sound explorations today.  Students moved through six stations exploring different properties of sound.  Vibration, pitch, and volume were all a part of our many discussions and discoveries.

We began looking at text structure today and what that means.  Students were able to look at texts that are structured using chronological order.
