3-D Skeletons


We began our day with our inquiry into story telling. Students completed their paragraphs while referring to the rubric.

In language, we completed our review work on list 9 spelling words. The class practised using apostrophes to write contractions.

In math, we had a lesson on 3-D skeletons. Each student built a skeleton to represent solids from square pyramids and bases all the way to octagonal pyramids and bases. These skeletons helped students to complete their practice work in class. Mme. Blanco was away today, and some students used the skeletons to help them complete their MMS homework too. The skeletons help students see how many vertices and edges a solid has. It also helps them see how many pairs of equal edges there are.

Students wrote an arithmetic test today. They do not have arithmetic for homework.

We managed to enjoy a few more chapters of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory too.

Students attended gym and art class today.

Homework & Reminders

  • Review list 9 spelling words (students have requested a lot of tricky bonus words)
  • MMS p. 52 & 53
  • Language p. 32 & 33 (Every body got done in class today)
  • Look out for a letter coming home about construction to the parking lot beginning Nov. 4
