BEE WISE meme invites us to share things we are learning!
GRACIE HAS BEEN LEARNING:
... about fractions!
Fractions are parts of a whole!
Like a PIE!
Cut a whole pie into pieces...that's what fractions are like!
The top number in a fraction is called the numerator!
The bottom number in a fraction is called the denominator!
If you click HERE it will show you cool things about fractions using colored circles to explain them.
Our family has 10 kids.
Six of them are girls.
So....6/10 of our family are girls!!! That's a FRACTION!
HERE'S WHAT MARY HELEN HAS BEEN LEARNING:
...how to write a short fiction story!
Every short story has these parts:
1) Characters
2) a "problem to be solved"
3) resolution: "how the problem can be solved"
4) an ending
I'm writing a short story called "Gary the Ground-hog's New Calendar"!
It's about a ground-hog who loses his calendar and meets a girl ground-hog that teaches him how to make a new calendar by drawing in the sand!
I'll post it for you when it's done!
You can have fun writing short stories! Just think up a character, give them a problem to solve, and create a way for them to solve it...don't forget to add a happy ending!!!!!
We like this new meme! Thanks Learning Center kids and Mrs. M.!!!

Wow, girls! I learned a lot from you today.Thank you for making fractions a lot easier for me to explain to Naomi and Zoe. Ben is writing stories. But with your list, writing is made simpler and so this would help Naomi and Zoe,too.
Thank you for joining Bee Wise meme. Enjoy your weekend!
That's awesome! Fractions are fun to work with once you get the hang of them, and writing stories has always been one of my favorite things! Can't wait to read yours when you get finished.
