Monday April 30th 2018

Hello,

Here is what we did on Monday.

Math: Today we learned about reflections! We loved this lesson and had so much fun. We learned that for a reflection there must be a mirror line, both shapes must be identical and have the same amount of space/distance from the mirror line in order to be considered a reflection. We did a worksheet to practice, a textbook question and a fun drawing activity with mirrors to practice!

Spelling
Art: We finished off our art by gluing it onto construction paper! They look great!

Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Math: Today we learned about translations. Moving a shape in different directions such as up, down, left and right. It is important to count out each square when moving the shape. We start by moving each corner the appropriate spaces. We do this using a coloured pencil. We practiced this many time together on the carpet and once they felt confident with the concept they were given a worksheet to start practicing on their own.
Music: Please see Mr. Oliver's blog for more information.
Spelling: Tests will be handed back next week.

Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Math: We did our math test
Language: We took a break from our tests and quizzes today and talked about our learner profile for the month which was well balanced. We talked about what it means to be well balanced including healthy eating and having a balanced lifestyle. We also talked about having a healthy mind! To practice this we did yoga! We used the video from Cosmic kids on youtube. I encourage you to practice yoga at home to have a healthy mind! Here is the link:

Next we talked about our own lives and filled in a circle to represent how much of each category it takes up in our lives: Personal time, family, friends, health, school, sports and recreational activities.

Take a look at the pictures and videos! So cute!
