MAKERS!Last Friday, we spent our time together making and creating. Students built circuits, created computer games, constructed with Knex, and crafted pieces of art. We listened to music and enjoyed using our hands, minds, and creative spirit. FRACTIONS ARE SUPER FUN!Learners have been exploring the strategies they can use to compare fractions, order fractions, and problem solve with fractions. Lots of great math talk has been happening! Ask your child to talk to you about what they have learned. Some vocabulary to get the conversation started: factor multiple equivalent fractions simplest form common denominator After Winter Break, we will begin adding and subtracting fractions. LOTS OF EXCITED ENERGY FOR CIRCUITS!Little Bits! Check out these awesome circuit building kits we have been using to uncover our understanding of how energy can cause change! CALLING ALL EXPERTS!Operation Hillside experts were a great help in our research journey this week! Mr. Diaspro answered our questions about playground safety, playground equipment, and shared his recommendations for how to address the hillside on the lower playground. Mrs. Wright fielded questions about local plants and animals. She is our expert naturalist and we are thrilled to have her assistance again! Thank you Mrs. Wright and Mr. Diaspro for giving your time to share with us and teach us! Teams continue to gather information, communicate their learning, and modify plans! Great work is happening!
