Triangles and Poetry

Hello,

Today, the students started the day by getting out new books from the Learning Commons. Then, they printed out their Cake Raffle posters and put them up around the school to publicize Thursday's big event! Finally, the students used the netbooks to begin their first drafts of their geometry poems or to work on their applications for the manager positions for the entrepreneurship program.

In Math, the students that had completed their work shared and discussed their responses together and with their teacher. There were some interesting discussions about the different shapes they had drawn. Any students who had not finished their homework tasks were given the chance to complete this work and I will discuss it with them tomorrow. A quick reminder that it is a great help to the learning process to get your work done in a timely fashion. If the students complete their homework, they can be active participants in class discussions and increase their level of understanding.

The students were also given a new sheet that examines side lengths and classification of triangles. The students will be given an opportunity to work on this activity tomorrow in class, but they can get ahead if they start to work on it tonight.

Don't forget to bring in your cakes on Thursday and your complete Literature Circle work on Friday.

Have a good night.

Mr. Skinner
