Curriculum Update: December 14 - 18




For the next few weeks, students will be learning to recognize fractions found all around them! Fractions are equal parts of a whole or set, and can be named in different ways. One way to name fractions in different ways is to find an equivalent fraction. The next time you and your child are outside, look for groups of people or objects of 12 or less. Ask your child to name some fractions shown in the group. For example, "What fractions of parked cars are red? What fraction of people are wearing a scarf?" When you start to look for them, you will realize that fractions are everywhere!

"When a tornado watch is issued one Tuesday evening in June, twelve-year-old Dan Hatch and his best friend, Arthur, don't think much of it. After all, tornado warnings are a way of life during the summer in Grand Island, Nebraska. But soon enough, the wind begins to howl, and the lights and telephone stop working. Then the emergency siren starts to wail. Dan, his baby brother, and Arthur have only seconds to get to the basement before the monstrous twister is on top of them. Little do they know that even if they do survive the storm, their ordeal will have only just begun. . ."
