We started working on subtracting mixed numbers this week and in order to model the process, made mini sheet cakes, brownies, pizzas, etc. to cut up and share. Here are the kids creating their culinary masterpieces. And speaking of adding and subtracting fractions, I posted some videos I made on my math blog to help you!

The kids watched a Bill Nye light video and wanted to try an experiment in it on their own, so we found the materials and got to work. Here is the result :) In order to review some fourth grade science and study for our light vocabulary test, students created quiz boards with circuits and LED lights. We talked in class about how white light is actually all of the colors of the rainbow being reflected at once (black is when the light from all of the colors is absorbed). We then did an experiment where we twirled paper with all of the colors in circles really fast and they reflected a white(ish) color back. Here are some videos. We had a great time at the annual turkey race on Friday the 16th. Here are some pictures and videos. We had an assembly with Brian Curry, an author and magician, in which he talked about his favorite books and did magic tricks to go along with them. One of our classmates even got to participate! A big thank you to the parents who helped out with the fall party! The food was wonderful and the we had a great time :) |
