Sorry for the short break, but man was last week busy!
This week we are being introduced to fractions. At this point of the week, the students should understand the difference between a shape that is divided into equal parts versus one that is not divided equally. Students should also know how to name a shape based on how many parts it is broken into. Students should name and idendtify halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, eighths, and tenths. As we move through the week, students will understand how to represent a fraction with both numbers and an illustration. For example, draw a pizza with 3/4 shaded in. Here are some more vocabulary terms we are working on.
In skills block, we are working on comparative adjectives. This includes the endings -er and -est. Students should be able to choose the correct ending for the situation. Remember, -er ending adjectives (taller, happier, etc) are comparing two people or things. -Est endings are for comparing lots of items (happiest of all, quietest in the class, etc).
These words are also the students' spelling words!
Have a great night and I will be back with more updates later in the week!
*The secret word is: fractions. Write it in your child's planner for Nov. 18th!
