Gym – The students started the day doing gym with Mr. Orr, which you can read about on his blog (http://tysonorr.blogspot.com).
Inquiry into Language – We copied our spelling words into our agendas.
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 our measurement unit by learning how to calculate the area of a parallelogram. A parallelogram has two major measurements – the base, which is the bottom, and the height. The area of a parallelogram if the base multiplied by height. Similar to a rectangle, it is the length multiplied by the width.
If you imagine slicing off the triangle on the parallelogram, it can fit onto the other end and make a perfect rectangle!
We worked on our math homework today after this.
Inquiry into Language – Today, we discussed how the literature circles are going to work. This is the first time students are being introduced to this – they are encouraged to ask questions.
Inquiry into Government – Today, we continued our unit on government by learning how a bill becomes a law. We then put together a flow chart of how this process works.
For homework:
- MMS Pg. 136-137 (due tomorrow)
- Bill to Law worksheet (due tomorrow)
- Spelling Lesson 20 (due Wednesday)
- Shannen read chapters 13 & 14; literature circles week one (due Thursday)
All homework for the day is placed here, but time may have been given in class to complete this work.
As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns by email, and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Mr. Conte
