May 19th - 22nd

Hello families!

This week in Grade ¾ we began a collaborative art project for next week’s Volunteer Tea, worked hard at editing paragraphs, and explored the world of coding. It was busy!

Learning Intentions:

    Grade 3:

• I can compare fractions to benchmarks of 0, half, and one whole.

• I can compare different fractions of the same whole that have the same numerator and different denominators.

• I can compare different fractions of the same whole that have the same denominator.

    Grade 4:

• I can compare percentages within 100%.

• I can relate fractions and equivalent decimal numbers to their positions on the number line.

• I can express the fraction, decimal, and percentage representations of the same part-whole relationship.

In mathematics this week, students continued to learn about the ways fractions play a role in everyday life. Grade 3 students did a lot of comparing and ordering of fractions, including on a number line. Grade 3s have now wrapped up their learning. Next week, they will complete a review prior to their check-in on Tuesday. Grade 4 students were introduced to percentages and did a great job of relating percentages to their everyday lives. They began to investigate conversions and equivalencies between fractions, decimals, and percentages. Grade 4s will wrap up their learning and complete a check-in next week as well.

Students also spent some time working on a “My Name in Fractions” art activity, representing the letters in their names on fraction bars and number lines. Take a look at some of their hard work below!

Important Dates and Reminders:

• Thursday, May 28th: 10:30 AM Volunteer Tea

• Please remember to dress for the weather - we are taking our learning outside often.

Have a great weekend!
