Nov. 21-28

This week in math the students began a new unit on geometry. We reviewed how to classify shapes by the number of sides and by the length of those sides. Students also learned how to measure and create different types of angles using a protractor. 

This week was bullying awareness week, and, as such, students were involved in a variety of activities around the topic of bullying and standing up for oneself and others. On Monday they listened to a speaker on internet safety, and were introduced to our school prefects, a few of whom are in our class. On Tuesday students participated in a presentation by De Santos on standing up for yourself. On Friday the students watched a live theatre performance entitled, "Frenemies," and were also introduced to our positive space room, which is now room 4. Please take a minute to talk to your child about these rich experiences.
