Fraction Fun

Today in math, we learned about mixed & improper fractions. We learned how to change a mixed to an improper. Have your child show you how to change 4 1/3 into an improper fraction. Put it in the planner. Lewis Clark Expedition today took us to Three Forks, MT and up to the Bitterroot Mtns. Ask your child what 3 rivers meet at Three Forks and write them in the planner. Also, ask what Indian Tribe the expedition met today and why that is going to be important and write it in the planner. Lead 21 kids are doing a great job with their space facts/opinions and connections. Most are done, but some have it for homework. Tomorrow we are testing on Selection 2 of Unit 4. Make sure you are working on your independent biographies. Discuss with parents tonight where you are on your project and you will report to us in class tomorrow. Doing this to keep everyone working on it and not procrastinating. Remember the Early Out Day on Thurs. and No School Friday or Monday, February 17th. Bring those Valentine bags/boxes, treats on Thursday and no earlier. Yes, there is a spelling list this week along with our test on Thursday morning. Raffle tickets-yes, there were some disappointments today as not everyone earned a ticket for good behavior, but they are getting harder to earn as the expectations bar is rising!!!! They know what to do to earn tickets to be eligible for the end of the day drawings for treats. Have a great night.
