I hope you enjoyed a wonderful weekend!

We had a good start to our busy week.  Some Genius Hour groups had their last working day on their inventions and presentations.  We will be sharing their inventions on Wednesday.

Our math focus has been on symmetry and triangle classification.  Students utilized specific criteria to classify triangles based on their angle measurements and the length of their sides.  We then used symmetry to create portraits.  Students were provided a picture of half of their faces and asked to complete the picture using symmetry.  Ask your child to tell you more!

We inquired into data acquired from weather charts.  Students examined weather charts, looking for information, and responding to questions about the charts.  They were able to determine the average temperature and rainfall for an area based on the data.  We will be completing our weather assessment tomorrow, so review the reading data tables and weather vs. climate section of your study guide.

We are looking forward to a busy and fun week!
