Perimeter & Area of Rectangles


We spent a little bit of time discussing some of the feedback we received from our Exhibition on Friday night.

We then began our academic day by working on math. We took up homework from last week on perimeter. We then did a lesson on perimeter and area of rectangles. Students used formulae to find perimeter and area. They converted area in m2 to cm2. Students changed the lengths of one of the sides of the rectangles to determine how the perimeter and area would be affected. Students then worked on the practice work on p. 348 & 349 of the MMS textbook. Any incomplete work should be done for homework.

I then began conducting reading assessments for this term. Students were called over to complete the out-loud portion of their reading assessment. They then worked on reading and responding to the text they have been assigned. We will continue with reading assessments tomorrow.

Students who completed their math, but were still waiting to be called for reading assessments worked on their Exhibition reflections in their journals.

The class attended music and gym today.

We will have Music instead of French class tomorrow.

Please practice your spelling bee words for this week’s in-class spelling bee on Wednesday.
