Ms. Ceglie's 4th grade class has been working on comparing fractions and finding fractions equivalent to one whole. They worked hard to sort a variety of set models and area models in order to indicate if the fraction shown was less than one half, equivalent to one half, or greater than one half. An added bonus is many students showed off their portrait of a graduate communication skills as they discussed where they would place the fractions within their groups!

Kindergarten and First Grade students learned about the importance of trees and got to help plant 6 trees on our school grounds! One of the trees is a River Birch-just like our street address! Thank you to the nice people at the Urban and Community Forestry Division for coming to Coates and teaching us about trees!
