Geometry Test

A package of review sheets were sent home before March Break.  We completed these sheets in class together.  Students can do very well on the test if they know the content in these sheets.

Math Update

Several students will be bringing home math homework today.  They need to complete #1, 2 and 3 on page 111/112.  We worked on this in class but some are still not finished.  This homework requires them to make trapezoids, rhombuses, parallelograms and pentagons.  These figures are described on page 111 for easy reference.  Thank you for helping and checking their work over.

Valentine Week Update

Math Update

We have just begun a unit on geometry.  Through daily activities, we will explore figures and solids and the relationships among them.  In this unit, your child will:
  -  Describe angles.
  -  Name describe, and sort figures and solids.
  -  Identify congruent figures and solids.
Geometry is an important part of a student's mathematical experience.  People with a deep understanding of geometry and good special sense will be able to describe the world around them and appreciate the geometry found in art, nature, and architecture.

Valentine Day

If your child would like to personalize his/her valentines, I am providing a list of the student's first names.

Paper Bag Book Reports

All students have chosen their books for their book report. The next step is to find a paper bag.  If you ask at Zehrs, they are usually able to help you out or they can be purchased from Dollarama (in the craft aisle).  Even a recycled gift bag would do because the sides can be covered with the pictures, summary etc.  The success criteria was on the page that came home explaining the report.  If you need another copy of this page, please let me know.  The last date to complete the report is Friday, January 23rd, but students can present their report any time before that date if they are ready.
