Learning From Home: Tuesday, March 24th

Dear 4A Families,

Thank you all for everything you are doing. We really appreciate your time, dedication, feedback, flexibility, and everything else!

FYI: This week the students will take their spelling test on Spelling City on Friday. Thank you for making sure the students have no support sheets when they do this lesson.  Thank you.

PDF for today’s work: Tuesday March 24th

From Mrs. Helling:

Before school closed students finished a unit tying art into their brain-science unit. They examined which side of the brain helped with drawing and studied art from a Dutch contemporary artist,  Salventius. Students made abstract blind continuous line portraits in his style (very fun to do, have your child show you!). Salventius released coloring sheets this week and I hope the kids enjoy using them at home! I also emailed him pictures of their work and he responded,  “Your students did a great job! Strong, confident lines, I love them!”

If you still need this: Teacher Tip! Simplifying fractions is also called reducing fractions. Remember your factor work! If you can divide the numerator and denominator by the same factor, that is the key to reducing/simplifying fractions. If you can find the greatest common factor, you only need to divide the numerator and denominator one time. You will never divide JUST the numerator or JUST the denominator. They are a package deal! You must divide them both by the same factor.
