EGGstra Special Weekly Objectives! Week of March 25-28
This week, while being a short one, will be jam packed with EGGciting EGGsperiments, drama, sports, mystery and more!
On Monday, my little thespians will be performing a scene from their guided reading stories from last week. Each group was assigned a one act play to read to learn how to interpret text in a different way. As a culminating event, they will be choosing and performing one scene from their play instead of taking a normal paper and pencil text. Their plays will be recorded and posted to the blog for them to view and share with their families!
In Math this week, we are continuing to work with fractions. We are focusing on making improper (top heavy) fractions into mixed numbers and vice versa. To make an improper fraction a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator. The answer is your whole number and your remainder is the new numerator for your new fraction. Example: 7/5 = 1 2/5
To change a mixed number into an improper fraction, multiply your denominator by the whole number, add the numerator to that answer, and place your final answer over your denominator. Example: 1 2/5= 5 x 1= 5, 5+2=7 improper fraction = 7/5
On Wednesday, we will be having our annual staff vs. student floor hockey game (here’s hoping I don’t break anything)!
Thursday is our school wide scavenger hunt as well as our EGGsperiment EGGstravaganza! The experiments we will be conducting are as follows:
EGGsperiment #1- the volcanic egg
EGGsperiment # 2- Humpty Dumpty
EGGsperiment #3- The Incredible Shrinking (and Expanding) Egg
EGGsperiment #4- The Naked and Bouncing Egg
EGGsperiment #5- The Unbreakable Egg
Please dress your child in play clothes as this may get messy!
