Fabulous Friday!

This week we have begun learning about fractions.  During the past few days students made fraction strips, fraction creatures and found fractions in their names.  It is important for students to know that a whole can be split into half and fourths.  

We also continued our discussion of goods and services.  We talked about where goods are made, and how goods get to our stores.  Tomorrow we will have our final assessment on economics.  On Monday we will switch back to science and study plants and animals for the remainder of the school year!  

During writing students have continued to work on writing realistic fiction.  We have some very creative writers, and it has been great to hear their stories!  Today we talked about how sometimes writers create a series about a character they like a lot!  This week we read a few books from the Fancy Nancy series. The Fancy Nancy series is also a great way to build vocabulary!
