Good afternoon everyone!
I hope you had a great night!
Tomorrow is our 100th
Day of School. At some point during the day we will be doing some activities
related to the number 100!

The cold snowy weather is back
for a visit! Please ensure you are sending proper outdoor gear including snow
pants, hats/earmuffs, mitts/gloves, and winter boots. Students spend at least
50 minutes outside everyday and we want them to be warm. Thank you for your
cooperation in this matter!

Language
Today we had our second round of recitals. Students are encouraged to
keep memorizing their speeches all week in anticipation for Tuesdays top 3. Top
3 will compete on Friday, February 24. Time to be announced.
Homework – Read for at
least 30 minutes per day
-Practice memorizing your speech - we still need a lot of work on this!!
-Top 3 will be chosen on Tuesday, February 21. We will be joining Ms.
Schwarz’s class so I can judge her students and she can judge mine. Please
remember that all speeches must fall between 2-3 minutes and must be 100
percent memorized.
Math
Today we continued creating our castles. This will be used as our final
math assessment of this unit. We also began show what you know!
A face is (flat surface on a shape) as well as an edge (a straight line)
and a vertex/vertices (the point at which the 2 edges meet together to make a
point). We filled out a chart with examples to help us.
A quadrilateral is a shape that has 4 sides and has angles. There are 5
types of quadrilateral– a square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and a
parallelogram. We realized that a square and rectangle has 4 - 90 degree
angles. We recognized that a rhombus and parallelogram will have 2 pairs of
equal angles that are opposites and a kite will have 1 pair of equal opposite
angles and 2 angles that are different.
Protractor Hint – Use the t in the little circle and line that up with
the vertex. Make sure the 180-degree line is lined up straight with the bottom
line of the angle. There are 4 types of angles. A straight angle is 180 degrees
and is a straight line. A right angle is 90 degrees and looks like an L. An
acute angle is less than 90 degrees and an obtuse angle is more that 90
degrees.
