Thursday School Colors tomorrow

This morning we read our story and reviewed our vocabulary words. In math we continued to work on our math requirements. Students will work on each requirement until they can pass it off. They have been given a chart to help them understand what needs to be done. The can take it home, but it must come back everyday.

Some of the areas students need help is changing inches to feet to yards, elapsed time (if Johnny left home at 3:30 and it took him 45 minutes to get to Logan, what time would Johnny arrive in Logan?)

They need to know that a rectangle has angles equaling 360 degrees.

If they know three of the angles of the rectangle, without measuring, how would you figure out the fourth angle?

All triangles have 180 degrees, if you know that two angles equal 105 degrees, what does the third angle equal.

Students need to be able to change seconds to minutes to hours and back again.

They need to be able to draw or identify points, rays, lines, line segments, right, obtuse, and acute angles, perpendicular and parallel lines.

This afternoon students went on their mile run. Some did really well. It was kind of warm outside, so most of the students celebrated by dumping their water bottles on their heads. It seemed like a smart thing to do.

Spelling words: autograph - graphics - geography - paragraph - photograph - phonograph - biology - apology - technology - geology - graph - bicycle - tricycle - recycle - motorcycle - telegraph - television - telegram - telethon - telescope
