Congruency

Day 3

We began our day with math. We took up yesterday’s work on transformations. We then did a new lesson on congruency. Students learned that figures are congruent if their corresponding sides and angles are equal and if the figures can coincide. Students received dot and grid paper to help them complete their work. Students are asked to complete practice questions on p. 258– 259 of the MMS textbook. Look out for measurement tests coming home today.

Next up was novel study time. We discussed the discussion questions for chapters 5 and 6 of Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt as a class.  Students are asked to read chapters 7 and 8 and complete response pages 28 to 33 for Thursday, Feb. 9th. We will have novel studies on each day that we do NOT have music.

Next we worked on speeches. I have finished checking reason # 3 paragraphs and began working through student’s counterargument paragraphs while students worked on writing their introduction. Students that did not complete the introduction need to complete it for homework. These are due tomorrow.

During inquiry time student were challenged to complete the research component of their project on Canada’s aboriginal peoples and to write the script for their PowToon. Students who did not get this done in class need to complete it for homework. Students will use tomorrow’s class time to create their PowToon slides. Devices will be needed daily as they work on this project. All PowToon projects are due end of day Friday.

Students attended French and gym class today.

A few students have not yet returned their City of Ember books. Please do this as soon as possible.

French trip letters and payment are due on Friday.
