May 11-15
Students build their understanding of fractions by learning how to add and subtract fractions with the same denominator. They recognize that the denominator represents equal-sized parts, so when combining or comparing fractions, only the numerators change. Through repeated practice, learners develop fluency in adding and subtracting numerators while keeping the denominator constant, and they strengthen their ability to explain their reasoning using visual models and real-life examples.
In addition to mathematics, students connect their learning to healthy living through hands-on experiences such as preparing a nutritious pasta salad. This activity helps them explore concepts of balanced meals, portion sizes, and the importance of including a variety of food groups. By engaging in food preparation, students also build practical life skills and make meaningful connections between classroom learning and everyday choices.
Students further express their creativity and communication skills through blackout poetry, where they transform existing text into meaningful and artistic poems. By sharing their work, they develop confidence in presenting ideas and reflecting on different interpretations of language, fostering both literacy and creative expression.
Finally, students explore hydration and nutrition within the context of science, specifically focusing on body systems and overall wellness. They learn how proper hydration and healthy eating habits support key body functions, such as digestion, circulation, and energy levels. These connections help students understand the impact of their choices on their physical health and encourage them to develop lifelong habits that support well-being.
Happy long weekend!
