Mathematics: This week we learned more about division, arrays, and fractions. In the partner game below students were racing to fill one whole.
 |
| We used this game to compare: 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 |
 |
| What team work! |
 |
| In this activity: students were dividing paper granola bars. |
 |
| We divided large numbers into equal groups. |
Reading and Writing Workshop: We began the week by sharing our "Top Ten Facts Posters". We created informational posters as part of our informational book clubs.
 |
| We learned a lot of interesting facts from each other. |
We then began a fairy tale unit. Within this unit, we will work on point of view, fairy tale elements, fractured fairy tales, cultural fairy tales, and comparing and contrasting texts.
 |
| We are exploring fairy tales searching for their elements. |
We then rewrote The Three Billy Goats Gruff from the Troll's point of view.
Genius Hour: Our engineering task this week was to create a bridge for the Three Billy Goats. The bridge was made out of marshmallows and toothpicks. The bridge had to span 18 centimeters and hold the weight of the goats.
