Thursday, December 10th

Another great day on The Ave!

We started our morning with our second day of MAP testing.  Students will be taking their final test tomorrow.  If students have not completed a portion of their tests, they will be able to complete them early next week.

We began looking at angles in relation to circles today.  Students examined a clock and how perpendicular lines create four quadrants on the clock.  They were able to connect that rotating a 180 degrees from 12 would mean that the minute hand is pointed at the 6.  We also previewed some activities with determining the measurement of an unknown angle using the characteristics of the angle and a given measurement.  We will continue building on these concepts in the coming days.

Students continue to work to move through the writing process with their opinion pieces.  Many students have begun publishing, although edits and revisions can still be made.

Thank you again for everything that you do to support your children, our classroom, and our school!  I am looking forward to celebrating with you next Friday at 1:30.

Have a great evening!
