Students were read a story "Sir Cumference and the Great Knight of Angleland". The story helped students to better understand concepts such as: right, straight, acute, obtuse angles. They also learned about degrees, perfect circles, parallel lines and how to use a protractor. After reading the story students were asked to draw a picture that showed a variety of angles and vocabulary discussed. The picture is due for tomorrow and students should be able to explain vocabulary embedded in the picture.
Students were also experimenting with air and water over the last two days. The experiments are helping students to better understand properties of air, such as air takes up space, expands when heated and contracts when cooled, hot air rises and cool air will drop. These factors must be considered for flight.
First drafts of persuasive letters are due Thursday and good copies are due Friday. Please see yesterdays blog for a "meeting" exemplar and the targeted outcomes for this assignment.
