Today was fun because we had computers and worked on our literature circle work. Olivia was kind enough to have her work shown to the rest of the class as a model. She really sets up her workbook the way that the students are expected to and now they have all seen it soooooooo....I'm hoping there is more clarity about that.
In math we learned about comparing fractions. This time we didn't use any manipulatives and some of the kids found that tricky but the more that we worked on it, the kids seemed to get a greater understanding of comparing APPLES to APPLES (fractions with COMMON DENOMINATORS).
Let's see how the student's fair on this little contest. I have one bouncy ball up for grabs:
Compare the following:
2/3 ____ 5/15 7/9 _______ 2/3 4/7 ______ 5/35
Email me with your answers (no help from your parents please!)
In science we played Jeopardy with a sweeping win by the boys.
Have a nice night. I'm looking forward to these awesome human body projects next Tuesday!
