Hello! My name is Mr. Swart, welcome to my web page. 

Here you can find out about what we're learning this school year.

Here's my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWQ-d985xsJ4smL1KF4OqEg

In Math, students are actively partitioning different models of wholes into equal parts (e.g., concrete models, fraction strips, and drawn pictorial area models on paper).  They identify and count equal parts as 1 half, 1 fourth, 1 third, 1 sixth, and 1 eighth in unit form before an introduction to the unit fraction!

In English Language Arts, students are reading a classic piece of literature to build their understanding of how writers craft stories that capture a reader’s imagination. Students will begin their study of Peter Pan by exploring how readers hold on to a narrative over time when reading the chapter book!
