Week of February 17

*** Measuring Angles booklet has gone home (with protractors). We are learning how to measure angles so be patient with yourself as you continue learning and getting better with this new skill.  Also, this booklet is for YOUR practice. Take your time completing it. I do NOT mark homework. ***

Hi all

This morning, we had dental screening - all students saw a dentist - reports will be sent home as needed.

Geometry
We've started working on angles, this morning. We have not completed enough to send home practice work. We will get through more learning and practice tomorrow and students will be able to practice what they have learned, at home.

STEM 
This afternoon, we used Dash and Dots and students applied their math learning about angles.
They programmed the robots to move a) in four 90 degree angles, b) a geometric shape that has an angle of 120 degrees, and c) a triangle (angles always adds up to 180 degrees).

Underground Railroad
We worked on shared reading and mapping the Underground Railroad for slave movement from Slave States to Slave Free States and through into Canada. Key vocabulary included: slaves, abolitionists, prejudice and racism.

This week:

• continuing on with Black history;
• Geometry - angles
• Researching Black Canadians who have had an impact in Canadian Society (using Canadian Encyclopedia) - to lead into a writing assignment. 
• Guided Reading all week

If no settlement is reached by Friday, there will be a Provincial Strike Day and subsequently no school for students. Thank you all for your continued support. 

Looking forward to a busy week.
