Fractions-
I can't believe we are already learning about fractions. Time goes by so fast and I wanted to let you all know fo the concepts we are learning with fractions. It is hard to understand sometimes, so that extra support from home helps a lot. We just finished equivalent and simplifying fractions so the rest will get to in the next 3-4 weeks.
If you have any spare time, please choose a topic and go over it with your little ones:) They will love it!
- Equivalent fractions
- Simplifying fractions
- Finding common denominators
- Comparing fractions
- Adding and subtracting fractions
- Multiplying and dividing fractions
- How a fraction relates to
Field Trips
We have lots of field trips coming up that I would love help with! They are all going to be a blast and I seriously can't wait to experience them with your little ones(They aren't so little anymore). Look below at the descriptions below to see if you'd like to join us:)
Arbor Day- This will be an all day event where the kids get to learn about the environment and rotate though different stations put on from community members.
Autubon Spring Field Trip- This will be an all day event where the kids get to go back to the Autubon Center and look at how the plants have changed. They will also get to go canoeing which I am beyond excited for.
Pompey's Pillar- This is an all day event where the kids get to actually go to the only spot on the Corps of Discovery where Lewis signed his name. Its a beautiful place and the they really put on a great educational day for the kids to learn about Lewis and Clark.
Bowling- This will only be for a couple of hours at the bowling alley out towards Shepherd. We were able to use some of the funds from the Read-A-Thon to treat them to an amazing end of the year celebration.
What we are learning
Math- Finding common denominators
Writing- Smarter Balanced Testing
Reading- Inferring , Main idea/details and summarizing
Science- Going through all the major types of energy with fun stations
Social Studies- Taking our Quiz on Lewis and Clark on 3/20 and then moving on to our final newspaper projects where they will be reporting on an event that happened on the Corp of Discover.
