We held our first character matters assembly.  Two students from each class were recognized for their demonstration of respect.  In math we learned about irregular and regular polygons, and naming the shapes that have more than four sides.  We made a new seating plan.  Homework task of "How will I learn well in class?" was assigned due Monday.

We learned about four-sided shapes (quadrilaterals) and their attributes (parallel lines, equal lines, right angle vertices).  Secret of the Lost Kingdom by Michael Bolton was read and discussed.

We explored about making various triangles, and learned about what attributes define a scalene, isosceles, and equilateral triangle.  We also worked on our language skills as we do daily.

The grade five students had a great day baking cookies and learning the big idea that rocks are made up of minerals.  We all worked on our adding and subtraction of whole numbers and catching up on overdue work.  Have a great weekend.

We have had a good week.  Today was a great day.  We worked on completing our story plan.  There is an anchor chart posted for writing a narrative.  We also worked in ways to show a number, e.g., standard, expanded, or words. The grade 5 students did a baking experiment to learn about chemical reactions.  The grade 4 students will bake cookies tomorrow to make a connection about rocks and minerals.
