Happy Friday!
This week, we continued to discuss how we can be successful in different parts of our lives. Thank you for participating in our success surveys! We know that success means doing our personal best and are beginning to learn that the five keys to success are:
- Resilience,
- Confidence,
- Persistence,
- Organization, and
- Getting along
We did personal surveys to find out our strengths and weaknesses. Next week, we will set goals on how to improve.
We have also been working on a group essay - in threes - to answer the question, "Should we watch what we eat?". Students have come up with some very creative arguments about why we should - including food allergies, maintaining a healthy weight and even ethics! Spring break Show & Shares went very smoothly. Most students were prepared and spoke well. Way to go! It was great to have the opportunity to focus on each student individually in this way!
In Mathematics, we have started a new unit on Geometry. How can you help students? Why not look for shapes in everyday life! We have been working on describing shape attributes using terms such as:
- Parallel
- Perpendicular
- Right angle
- Equal
- Opposite & adjacent sides
We have created Instagram profiles for different quadrilaterals. My favourite hashtag so far? Aiden's parallelogram which is #toocoolforrightangles!
Please be aware of the following:
- Dairy Queen cake order forms due on April 23
- Sponsorship notices were sent home earlier this week (yellow) for the End of Year BBQ & Carnival. Please let me know if you didn't get a copy & I'll see if I can send home another!
