Announcements
Report cards go home Friday. Student-led conferences are next week. The website opened today to pick a time for next week.
Our annual Spring Fundraiser is coming up! Forms were sent home yesterday. There are a lot of fun activities planned for next week. If students raise/ submit $40, they will get to go on a field trip to Scooter's Roller Palace! Spring Fundraiser due date has been extended to next Tuesday.
We will be having our in-class spelling bee competition next week to determine who will compete in this years spelling bee. Students should be practicing the words that were sent home before the march break.
To participate in Autism awareness month, students' are asked to bring in $2 to wear a blue T-shirt on Tuesday, April 2nd, 2019.

Inquiry into Language
Students completed their final pre-OWA on writing a persuasive writing piece. Students used their dictionary skills to help them locate words they weren't sure how to spell.

Inquiry into Math
Today we learned about ANGLES. 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.
Looking for angles to measure around the class using his protractor!

RECESS/ LUNCH
Unit of Inquiry
We learned all about composting today. As a class we read an article of what composting is, how it happens, how it affects soil and what we can and cannot put in compost. Students worked in partners to complete the comprehension questions that related to the reading. They are working towards answering questions in full sentences, using part of the question in their answer. Students then completed a cut-and-paste activity relating to the composting cycle.
AGENDA
- Math: angles worksheets
- UOI: composting worksheets
- Read for 25 minutes
- Spelling test tomorrow

Video introducing the types of angles we learned about:
When identifying the angle you need to measure within a shape, you are to look at the middle letter in the question. Ex. If it asks you to find the angle of CDE, you will measure the angle of D.
