Tremendous Tuesday!

We began the day with math. We learned how to find the area and perimeter of an irregular figure. 

Here are videos to explain how to find the area and perimeter of an irregular figure:

We then practiced finding the area and perimeter of an irregular figure. 

Next we worked on speeches. Today our focus was to have a peer edit our work and then we edited our own work. Ms. Jaskolka also edited our speech. Tonight students are asked to have a parent edit their speech. Then students are asked to put all their edits into their speech. The final copies are due tomorrow. Tomorrow we will begin working on cue cards. 

After first recess and lunch we had French.

We began our new unit today, Canada and the world and our focus was to describe the connections that they as individuals have to the rest of the world and what it means to be a global citizen. We played Globingo to better understand how we are all connected to the rest of the world! Student filled out as many squares as possible by obtaining information from other students. The name of the country and the name of the student were noted in the appropriate square. The first student to fill out all the boxes called out “Globingo”! 

Following Globingo we talked about what students learned about their classmates. We then looked to the “Canada and the World” map in the classroom. For every country on our sheets, we put a pin on our world map. 

We learned that as global citizen its important to know about Canada’s connections to other countries in the world and today they have taken the first step to becoming active global citizens.

For homework, students will be creating an inventory of products, goods and other things in their homes that come from other countries. 

At the end of the day we had physical education.
