It's been a busy day of school!

We continued and finished working on questions in Math, where students had to find the square root of a number. Language was super busy with students finishing either their poster or slideshow for their Classmate Biography assignment. Finally, in History students learned about the Haudenosaunee, how they are part of the Six Nations Confederacy and learned about their daily life during the time when they first made contact with European explorers.

Students were introduced to this concept today and how regardless of diameter lengths, the circumference of a circle will always be 3.14159265359.... times the measured diameter. We are challenging the students to test this theory on 3 different-sized circles. They need to document their testing via pictures and videos and then create an infographic or slideshow to demonstrate their learning. Students were busy during Language, taking their main points with supporting details and writing them into a proper paragraph. We have been working on our class opinion essay about "Should we have to wear a school uniform?" Tomorrow we will look at putting all our paragraphs together to create the body of our essay. Inspired by P's awesome Math class on circles, for Art we have decided to explore Mandala's, focusing on symmetry with the designs. We ended ...

During Language, students began interviewing their partners for their Classmate Biography assignment.  We had another hilarious time during Gym with our cooperative games and the students trying to solve the HUMAN KNOT! In Science, we explored the relationship between Biotic and Abiotic factors. Finally during French, students spent time researching the topic of choice.
