Mathematics

In math this week, students are inquiring into ordering fractions, improper fractions, and mixed numbers with like and unlike denominators. Students will be practicing ordering fractions correctly using ideas they have been forming about fraction sizes when compared to a whole and concepts of fraction equivalencies. 

Understanding these concepts will give students more reasoning power when we move into adding and subtracting fractions next week, and multiplying fractions the week after. 

Unit of Inquiry / Language Arts

Students have continued to inquire into various ways in which artists express themselves and personal responses to the arts. As part of this inquiry, students have: 

• completed and shared their final blind contour drawings of a classroom objects based still life;
• made and analysed aesthetic choices while digitally enhancing photos using www.picmonkey.com to achieve certain sought after and preconceived effects; 
• and read, recited, and responded to poetry from many authors while creating a poetry anthology.
