Reader's Theatre!

Our class was beyond excited to perform the Reader's Theatre they have been practicing during class and at home. Props, costumes and makeup were even brought to school by some of our performers. We did two shows and invited 1K and 1L to be our audience, as they are also learning about "fractured tales" as part of their Language Arts program.

The Three Little Elephants

Goldilocks and the Three Bullfrogs

Spiderella

In Math, we started our unit on fractions, by reading a few books.  

This week we talked about numerators and denominators. We began exploring different fractions that represent part of a whole. We did a number of activities to explore fractions such as paper folding and using fraction rods. 

We learned how to write fractions when given pictures of shaded areas. 

The student's also sparked a conversation about equivalent fractions. 

In Science, the student's have gathered all of the information they need to begin their Google slide presentations. 

Our butterfly pointillism pictures are now complete. This week, they explored creating different shades by mixing yellow, orange and red. 

We had some surprise guests visit our school on Friday afternoon. The "Carnival of Calamities" came to give us a short preview of their performance at Devon Days!

Congratulations to our new Student of the Week!
