We also completed some Math fraction addition art: coloured 100 squares and represented it in fraction form and decimal form, then added fractions together. We completed some hands-on ratio art by using pattern blocks to create beautiful art, and then















We went for a community walk this week, and picked up garbage along the way. What a lovely way to give back.

We practiced travels, balances and partner balances.          We celebrated Cultural Diversity Day on Wednesday. We designed flags, and many students wore their cultural clothing.            This linked well to our Social Studies learning, about how Canada is so diverse now, but how did that come to be?!
