Happy Wednesday!
Gym – The students started the day doing gym with Mr. Orr, which you can read about on his blog (http://tysonorr.blogspot.com)
We had a little discussion regarding the science fair on Friday and how to prepare.
Music – Then, we had music with Mr. Oliver, which you can read about on his blog (https://mrolivermusicclass.blogspot.com).
French – In the afternoon, we had French with Mme. Rawan, which you can read about on her blog (https://mmerawansja.blogspot.com).
Inquiry into Math – Today, we continued geometry by learning to classify different shapes. There are regular shapes with all equal sides and angles, and irregular shapes with not all equal sides and angles.
We reviewed the three types of triangles, which are equilateral (all equal sides), isosceles (two equal sides), and scalene (no equal sides).
We did an activity to classify some of the shapes, which helped us see that some shapes have both regular and irregular properties.
After this, we worked on our homework for the day.
Inquiry into Ancient Civilizations – We continued our inquiry into Ancient Egypt by discussing Pharaohs and government in Ancient Egypt. It was interesting to research and inquire the similarities we see in these systems in our systems today.
For homework:
All homework for the day is placed here, but time may have been given in class to complete this work.
