Fractions, fractions...
In math this week we have started our fun unit on fractions!
The children seem to be really enjoying learning about fractions and working with fractions.
Please review 1/2 and 1/4. Some of our friends already understand 1/3 and someone mentioned 15/16. WOW! We have learned a really fun song about fractions. You can hear it by visiting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnFrOetuUKg
The children have also enjoyed reading about fractions. We have read Give Me Half, Inchworm and A Half, and The Little Mouse and The Red Ripe Strawberry.

Science Is Fun!
Science and Exploration
My kindergarten friends have started their unit on matter.
We began the unit by allowing the children to take various objects and try to change their properties. This lead into that all matter has properties, and that matter can be a solid, liquid, or gas.
