I Can Identify What Makes Something One-Half
This week we worked on building our understanding of basic fractions and what makes something 1/2. We started off by cutting sticky notes up and sorting them as a class into half and not half. Next students were given the chance to do this independently and created a visual journal page of shapes cut into half and not half. Finally, we looked at dividing a quantity of objects into two equal halves. We will wrap up our look at fractions next week.
Literacy:
In literacy this week we spent some time looking at the syllables of words and how knowing some rules can help us read longer words. We learned that vowels in open syllables make long songs. We also learned that vowels in the stressed syllable make the schwa sound.
