Math
We have been working so hard this week with fractions. Students were able to identify one-half, one-fourth, and one-eighth in a length model. They learned that it is very crucial to identify first how many parts there are before coloring the parts. Look at the examples below.
Science
Do you have a fear of spiders? An abnormal fear of spiders is called Arachnophobia. These are some of the fun facts that we have learned this week about spiders (Arachnids). Arachnids are not insects. We have learned that there is a difference between insects and spiders. Spiders have 8 legs, 8 eyes, 2 body parts, and no wings. Insects have 6 legs, 2 eyes, 3 body parts and wings. We have also learned that spiders are extremely important to our world. Spiders help keep the insect population under control. Spiders have been so fun to learn about this week!
