Week 10:
Math
We completed our unit on Fractions. Students created skits to reteach some of the toughest fraction skills such as: changing improper fractions to mixed numbers, simplifying fractions, comparing fractions using multiple strategies and converting fractions to decimals. These skits will be available on my website to review. The site will be password protected so only we can view it. If I do not have your permission to put your child's image online (there was a permission slip handed out at Back to School Night) I will not post your child's group online.
Science
We are still learning about different types of energy. Students compared light and sound then investigated the vibrations sound waves create. We also introduced electrical energy as children built simple circuits with various components, including switches.
