Fraction Flowers

This week each student wrote a word problem that included fractions.  They then had to make a flower that went along with their word problem.  After the flowers were completed they shared their fraction word problems with the class.  Each flower was different and unique!!!

Team News: Week of January 6-10

This week:  We got right back into the swing of things with a full schedule!  In Literacy, we read a play called “Ranita, The Frog Princess.”  Ask your child if they had a part in the play.  We focused on identifying the theme, which is the overall message or lesson of the story.  In Math, we did a little division and multiplication review and began identifying and making fractions.  In Social Studies we learned about New Hampshire in the 20^th century and beyond.  We also began our projects for multicultural night.  We are researching countries that participate in the Olympics.  This will also lead us into an ongoing project during the Olympics.

Next Week:  In Literacy, we will be reading a story called “Me and Uncle Romie” and focusing on character, setting, and plot.  In Math, we will continue working on identifying and making fractions.  In Social Studies, we will begin learning about New Hampshire’s government.  We will also continue working on our projects for multicultural night.  

Don’t Forget:  to practice multiplication facts, read 20 minutes, and complete homework!  As always please check my blog as it has updates and important information about that is going on at school:  www.missrocheford.blogspot.com
