We continued to investigate what exactly is "A Whole" this week working to convert fractions from mixed to improper fractions. The idea that there could be more then one whole worked to help us challenge some misconceptions.
Please note that the only beverage allowed in Room 20 is now water! We have talked a lot about the amazing benefits of drinking water and are working towards our goal of drinking 8 cups a day. We have established a 'hydration station' in our classroom to house our water bottles safely away from electronics and our own work as well as a great reason to get up and get a much needed body break.
We also completed our mixed media water art project. It was a huge mess and we loved it!
We were able to finish our class read aloud Spaced Out by Stuart Gibbs and worked to create our own book covers for the novel. Students had to think about what the main events were and what would in fact make us want to pick up a book and read it.
