Day 8
We began
working on a new math unit this morning - geometry. Our first lesson was about
angles not angels ;-). We reviewed different types of angles. Students drew
examples, named them, and stated their measures. Ask your child to describe
acute, right, obtuse, straight, and reflex angles. Students have been assigned
a geometry set for this unit. They will be responsible for keeping the contents
safe until the end of the unit when the set will be returned to the school.
Geometry sets need to be at school every day. We reviewed how to correctly use
a protractor by discussing some common mistakes students make. The class did sample questions to show they
know how to correctly use the protractor to measure angles before being
released to work on their cars. We had very little time to work on cars today
as our geometry lesson was extra, extra long. We also had a fire drill today. Students
are asked to complete practice questions on p. 84 & 85 of the MMS textbook.
The number patterns unit test is coming home today. Please take time to review
the test with your child, sign it, and return it to school tomorrow.
Students who
have not completed their slideshows used their first recess to work on them.
Students who have not completed their slideshows need to keep bringing their
devices to school. All slideshows must be presented on Thursday.
The class had
French, music, and gym class today.
Today,
Avneet and Satvik presented their slideshow on hydrogen power. Thank you for
teaching us.
