Check out Will Yetter's blog he is updating from France. His family is living the dream over there for the month, and the class is keeping up with Will online. We had a blast checking out his photos and captions this morning during writers workshop.
Homework
Reading group assignments due tomorrow. Cricket in Times Square will do Fish Bowl tomorrow.
Math:
Fifth graders took their first look at area and perimeter today. They used geoboards to figure out the areas of irregular polygons, puzzled over the relationship between area and perimeter, and worked to answer the questions: what happens to the area of a square when you double the length of one side? the perimeter?
There is a problem of the week due this Friday.
Fourth grade math
Purple group: This week and next we will be preparing for Math Night, coming Tuesday, March 6, so we began discussing how students will prepare for this special event. In geometry, we reviewed properties we could use to describe different kinds of polygons: the number of sides; one, two, or more pairs of parallel sides; or whether they have right angles. Then we reviewed quadrilaterals, polygons with four sides, and some special kinds of polygons: parallelograms, rectangles, squares, rhombuses, and trapezoids. Students took assessments on quadrilaterals, and continued work on their JUMP packets.
