Happy Tuesday!

We started off the day learning about equivalent fractions! We practiced finding equivalent fractions by using the magnetic fraction pieces on the whiteboard and fraction tiles at our desks. During Reading Workshop we practiced our Reader's Theater scripts in our groups. We also made name tags to show which character we are in the scripts. We are very excited to perform soon! In the afternoon Dempsey and Door Runner shared their VIP posters with the class. We all had a lot of questions and comments for each person, and they did a great job sharing!

Terrific Thursday!



This week our class started learning about fractions. Today we practiced how to draw a fraction and write the fraction for fraction pictures. We also made Earth Day pictures for our class poster for the Spring Fling. The class has been working hard on their elephant stories, and almost everyone has published their work. Some students shared their story with the class today.
