This week we've been working with fractions. We've been learning about fractions as equal parts of a whole, how to put fractions on a number line, and equivalent fractions. One way to get some more information about these concepts, is through Khan Academy. This website offers free tutorials on fraction concepts and many other third grade skills. Look for the information about how to log in to Khan Academy with your student in his/her homework folder.

We also had a wonderful visit from author Cynthia Lord. As a class, we've read her book Rules and as part of the one book one school program at LSS we've read Half a Chance. Ask your student about these books and her visit.
