March 27-April 2

This week in math students learned to identify and construct nets of prisms and pyramids, as well as sketch and build 3-D figures. There will be a math quiz on geometry, including transformations (reflections and translations, plus rotations for grade 6s), identifying nets and solids of pyramids and prisms, and sketching 3-D figures for grade 6s. 

In language students have been working on writing a business letter to someone in a position of power who can affect change regarding a social justice issue. They have also used the creative process to create a piece of visual art that demonstrates their understanding of an aspect of power.
