Hello,

Here is what we did today.

UOI: Today we read a book called "Amazing Plant Power. " They loved the book so much it took us like 40 minutes to get through! It was about how plants adapt based on their environment or what they need. Next we did a cut and paste worksheet in which they had to match a type of plant to their adaptation. Here is what we did.

Spelling Bee: Ruhaan and Max competed against Sunnybrook!

We spent the day at the city church practicing for arts night! While we were waiting we completed a math review package for their test tomorrow. We practiced a few more times while we were waiting.

Costume: As our song is about school they are wearing their regular school uniform. They can wear shorts, pants or a dress. They need to wear their vest or their v-neck sweater as well. If you do not have one please borrow one from a friend.

Performances: There are two performances tomorrow. One at 1:30pm and one at 7:00pm. In the evening they need to be dropped off at the city church at 6:15pm. They are preforming at the beginning and the end so they need to stay for the whole performance.

Everyone has a part in the performance so it is essential that everyone is there.

Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Math:  Today we reviewed the parts of a 3D shape. First we learned the difference between a pyramid and a prism. A pyramid is tall and a prism is long. Next we learned about the edges, faces and vertex.  We talked about how knowing how what shape the base is,  can help us identify the name of the shape as well as the number of faces, vertices and edges. We explored different shapes with our table groups and worked on a math package describing 3D shapes. They did really well!

Arts Night: We figured out our actions for arts night!

Lunch/Recess

Hello,

Here is what we did on Monday.

Math: Today we explored angles in quadrilaterals! We talked about how squares and rectangles have 4 equal angles, parallelograms and rhombuses have opposite equal angles and lastly all kites have 2 equal angles. To show that angles are equal you draw matching arcs. We did examples on the board and a few textbook questions for practice.

Language: We started our new novel study. We are reading the famous novel, "The Secret Garden." The students are so excited to begin a new story adventure! They made so many connections to our last novel study book as well.
