Angle Scavenger Hunt

Hello,

Today we had some fun in Math class. We spent some time talking about acute, right, obtuse, straight and reflex angles and the steps for measuring them using a protractor. Then we went out on a scavenger hunt, looking for different angles in the school, taking pictures of them with our iPads and classifying and measuring the angkes. We came back to class and shared our findings with other groups in the class. We will wrap up our discussion tomorrow, and correct the angle sheet that was for homework last night.

In Language, we made revisions to our 67's and Cake Raffle announcements with a partner, and read the announcements to the other students who created similar announcements. From the 67's group, Carter was selected to read his announcement today. Ethan will read his announcement tomorrow, Samantha will share her announcement on Monday and Alex and Anthony will be reading their announcements together on Tuesday. Everyone made very good changes today, to make their writing more interesting and energetic.

We will select the readers for the Cake raffle announcements next week. Don't forget that there is still time to buy tickets for the 67's raffle. Tickets are on sale until Tuesday.

Finally, don't forget to complete your jobs for tomorrow's literature circle. Your group members are counting on you. Please remember to bring your novels and all necessary materials to school tomorrow morning.

For my three volunteers for the first round of article summaries, if you feel that you need more time to improve your work, after discussing our example summary and response to the questions yesterday, please let me know tomorrow and I will give you until Monday. However, I will not mention this in class, so you will only know about this option if you have read the blog!

Get well soon Samuel. We hope to see you tomorrow, or next week!

Have a great night.

Mr. Skinner
