Week 29

 Dear Parents,

        In math we began our unit on fractions. We are working on halves, fourths, and eighths. A fraction is something that has been divided into equal pieces. Every piece has to be the same size. If all the pieces are not the same size then the object does not represent a fraction. The chant to help us remember which number is the numerator and which is the denominator is: “ The top number is the shaded, the bottom number is the parts! “

         In writing we began our class procedural paper on how to draw a crab. Next Week they will choose their own how to topic and write their own paper. We are also learning about prepositions to make our writing more exact, and easy to follow.

          In social studies we are learning all about economics. They are really excited to have a job and receive pay. The earnings list and fines list are really helping the children be motivated to do and be their best! Our room has never been so clean!

          In science we have begun our plant unit. We are learning about the basic needs of plants , their parts, and the functions of those parts!
