Anti-Bullying Day- Thursday February 22nd, 2018

Here is what we did today:

We started our day with the Cinderfella play! It was such a fun and educational event!

Morning Meeting/Agendas

Language:  Today we continued our novel study, "Heidi." We read chapter four together and the students answered some comprehension questions as a follow up activity. We continued creating our personal student dictionary with words from the novel that we are learning.

Recess/Lunch

Math:.  Today we learned about fractions of a set. This concept was really tricky so we practiced a lot together and with partners.  We know that fractions represent equal parts of a whole object/shape. Today we learned what fractions of a set look like. Below are the steps to help with homework:

For example:

2/3 of 12

Step 1:  You need to find what one set would be (1/3) so you take the total number and divide it by the denominator.

1/3 --> 12 divided by 3 = 4

Step 2: Now you can find the what 2/3 is by taking the quotient (4) and multiplying it by the numerator (2).

2/3 --> 4 x 2 = 8

So, the answer would be 2/3 of 12 = 8

***If they have to draw the set then the denominator is the number of rows, the quotient from step 1 is the number of columns! ***

*** If the numerator is less than 1 then you only need to complete step 1 to find the answer to the question!***

We practiced this concept with partners and really had fun!

Recess/Lunch

UOI/ART: Today we talked about the city skylines. We talked about how it looks balanced and the line of symmetry in the photo. We began creating our own city skyline and we will be using water on the markers to create a reflection. We are continuing this activity tomorrow.
