Fractions and Notes and Fractions and Notes and Fractions and Notes
That was essentially our day. We took a ridiculous amount of notes dealing with fractions, and talked a good deal about adding fractions and finding equivalent fractions. In case they need them, most of the notes are here:
Tonight students have a sheet of simple fraction addition, with like denominators. They then have 6 problems where they are asked to find equivalent fractions. I expect them to show me what form of one they multiplied by in order to find the equivalent fraction.
In Language Arts we caught up some on The Mysterious Benedict Society, and did some rotations on Lexia, worked on word work, and worked on a short reading selection on weather. Tonight students have a word ladder and weather reading to finish.
Unfortunately I seem to have misplaced my digital copies of these items. When I find them, I’ll put them here!
In Science we talked about the different types of clouds:
cumulus are fluffy and puffy, and usually are found below 6000 ft.
stratus are layered clouds and are also normally found below 6000 ft.
cirrus clouds are the thin and wispy clouds found very high up, oftentimes above 20,000 ft.
We then took out some cotton balls and made our own clouds, and put them on a chart. If you see some clouds outside today, ask your student what type they are!
so, tl;dr
one simple fraction addition sheet, plus 6 equivalent fraction problems
One reading selection on weather
One word ladder
As always, read for 35 minutes!
Have a good one,
