A big area for stuggle for many students (and adults) are fractions! (AHHHHH)
This is a part of our number sense and numeration area of the curriculum.
We are determined to learn fractions (and decimals) so that we don't have to be afraid of them anymore!
We made tangrams and worked with them this week and next week we will be making fraction strips and working with ten frames more.
Here are some sites with some online interactive games that involve fractions and a great at home help for parents too:

In art today we made monochromatic pictures. I have to say everyone did a great job! We were inspired by how the character Lina in The City of Ember made a picture with just one pencil crayon.
In Language we looked at the use of italics, quotations and apostrophies in our shared reading.
Hope everyone has a great long weekend and spends some time with family!
