Dear Fourth and Fifth Grade Families,

I hope you all had a wonderful and restful break! The weather has finally turned, and it was time to give bodies and minds much needed rest. The students were very excited to share with the class what they did over the break.

Before the break, the students continued learning and experimenting with fractions. They worked on many ways to understand and comprehend the concept of a whole and how it can be fractured into parts. They have been especially engaged in this block because it included many snacks, which makes it more tangible for students to understand the concepts.

The students have new partners they are working with on their end of block projects. It has been very insightful and interesting to see students blossom, take the lead, and show their creativity when working with different peers.

Please send in two full water bottles daily. The children get very warm with all the speech and movement work that they do in addition to recess.
