FRACTIONS.. YUM!

Today in math, we learned about fractions.  Mme had 12 apples, 12 strawberries and 12 cookies.  She asked us how we could make it even so every one received the same amount of everything.  As a class, we decided to cut it in half to have equal parts of each whole fruit or cookie.  1 apple is equal to 2 halves, 1/2 and 1/2.  
When we cut up all the food we had 24 halves of everything.  We learned that 1 whole cut in 2 evenly is always 1/2.  FRACTIONS are INCREDIBLE and FUN!

Earth Day

This week was Earth Week. We have done computer projects to promote and help the earth.  Our school performed a  spring musical called Assignment Earth.  The songs that we sang were called It's Our World, Turn It Off, Lean Green Air Machine, and We Are Able.
 Did you know that if there is pollution in the air or in the water animals could die?

Today in MATH

Today in math we have been working on multiplication with paper plates, bingo chips and also dice.  We had to roll the die and it represented our number groups and then when we rolled again it represented the amount of bingo chips in each group.  We had lots of fun doing it!!!!   The plates represent the groups and the bingo chips represented the numbers in each group.  For example, three groups of two equals six .  


HERE WE ARE LEARNING ABOUT MULTIPLICATION


 Each day we practice counting but two's, three's and today we added four's and five's to help us learn our multiplication.  Multiplication is incredibly fun.
