Here is what we did today:
Music: Please see Mrs. McMillan's blog for more detail. www.mrsmcmillanmusic.blogspot.com
Inquiry into Language: We did our OWA pre-assessment for Term 3!
Recess/Lunch
Inquiry into Math: We learned about angles and how to use a protractor! We identified the four different types of angles: acute, right angle,
obtuse and straight angles. The main concept for students to understand
is how to identify whether an angle is greater than or less than a right angle. Students
also learned how to use a protractor to measure angles. Some steps I
encourage the students to follow to help them better identify the value
of the angle they are measuring since it can get confusing with the two
sets of numbers on a protractor are.
1) Put your angle marker on the angle you want to measure (the curved line)
2) Identify whether the angle is greater than or less than a right angle
3) Use your protractor to measure the angle.
** If you say your angle is less then a right angle, then your
measurement should be less than 90 degrees. If you say it's greater than
a right angle then your measurement should be greater than 90 degrees.
When using the protractor, students understand that they should line up
the centre of the bottom of their protractor (where the little hole is)
where the two lines meet to form the angle. In addition to this, one of
the lines that form the angle need to be lined up with the solid black
like at the bottom of their protractor that meets the 90 degree line.
UOI: Today we learned about composting! We read the articles together in class and then did some fun cut and paste activities. They were sent home for homework!
