Our whole class got to work with our friend partner and then Vasanthi put us in groups. After we were put into groups, we chose a holiday. Groups have chosen New Year's Day, Holi, Christmas, Day of the Dead and Carnival. Some of us are doing games, posters and a presentation. I hope all of the parents can hear about all the fun and learning we are doing! ☺️. We will present our holidays to Mrs. Crowther's class on Monday!

Wonderful Wednesday! Day 73 of learning together!
Another round of amazing country shares! We learned about France, Nigeria and China! We learned that in France there are more pets than children! In Nigeria they speak 250 languages! China has the largest population in the world! We also had a taste of French croissants and Nigerian coconut macaroons and plantain chips! Tomorrow we have our last two shares😩. Next month we will be researching and presenting about famous world sites:natural or man made!
In math class we have focused on our strategies for adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators! We've been in Ratio Table Land for over a week and have learned that ratio tables are useful in helping us find common multiples as well as equivalent fractions! Thanks to Chris, Haley, Kylee and Dylan we have some smart ways to use ratio tables to find common denominatorsWe took a quiz today and used all that we know to solve some tricky problems!!

Week in Review 12/11
We have had an exhilarating week of learning! We are so proud of all that we accomplished! We are thankful for our learning and hopeful and excited about our learning for next week! Wondering where all these positive feeling words came from? Welł, for the past few weeks we have been working with Rachel and Peter to learn strategies to use when we have positive and negative feelings. We've also spent time talking about the "Unthinkables" like Brain Eater and Worry Wall. Here are a few pictures of us acting out our Brain Eater moments. We acted the scene out with an "unexpected reaction", which means you have a reaction to a friend or parent, or coach that is not very nice, and an "expected reaction", which is when you use a strategy to calm or focus. Ask your child about it!
We've been traveling the globe through, reading, writing and sharing! We have visited Antarctica, South America, North America, Astralia, and Oceania. The top pictures show us on truflix traveling by reading and taking notes with partners and alone. The second set of pictures shows some of people's beautiful shares. They also did a great job making mouth watering food. Kate with Denmark, Ian with Syria, Nora did Mongolia, Chloe with Tonga, and Faith with Germany. Great job to the others too, that shared even though we do not have pictures of them. Great job to everyone for making it an exhilarating week!
