I'm actually pretty good at fractions.

This week we began our work on fractions. We have been exploring what a fraction is through various activities. Today, we were discovering what "halfness" is. We look at different ways to make a half out of something.
What is half of his height?

We used spinners to see what half of the carpet is

We filled half of the water bottle

I found the halfway point of this book

What is half of nineteen hands?


In Language we continued to work on our narrative stories using the prompt "There's a creature in my House." We have been using a graphic organizer to put our story together and the writing our rough drafts based on our outline form the organizer. Most of us will finish before the May Long weekend begins.

We are also learning about Animals and their adaptations in science with a focus on animals from the Arctic
