We started off the day in the library with Mr. Brutto.
When we returned to class we did a review of fractions. We reviewed how we name fractions, how they can be part of a set or a whole. We identified fraction names. The Gr. 3s did a review from their Math text while the Gr. 2's worked on a booklet. After recess we continued with our fraction review.
After lunch we did an activity that integrated several strands of Math as well as help us understand a little bit about pioneers. We made a quilt square using contruction paper. We talked about how pioneers used everything to its fullest extent. So with fabric they saved old clothes and curtains etc. and would cut them into shapes and sew them together. They often did this in a group called a "bee." We worked to make squares, and this used our knowledge of fractions, geometry and area to make our squares.
After recess we did independent reading, to research our animals further or a novel of personal interest.
