Today, students spent time finishing off their Prezis. Some
were done, and gave up their time slots at the ThinkPads to students who needed
extra time. Students have been helping each other work out difficulties with
their Prezis. It is great to see students looking out for each other.
Presentations will begin tomorrow. Parents, please be an audience for your
child tonight and give them pointers on how they could improve their
presentation.
In math, we focused on the attributes of quadrilaterals. We
used a Venn Diagram to sort quadrilaterals according to their properties. We
tackled tricky questions, such as, why a square, a parallelogram, a rectangle,
and a rhombus can be trapezoid, but a kite cannot be a trapezoid. Ask your
child to explain this to you.
We took extra class time to tackle math problems we have
gotten behind on in class. As a result we did not do arithmetic today.
In language, students reviewed list 8 spelling words. We
continued learning about comma rules and practicing these rules. Ask your child
to recite 6 comma rules to you.
Students did not have gym today as Mr. Browning was away.
Students attended French class today.
