We learned about why certain colours may be used in advertisements. Colour can impact the way we feel and view an item. Today we learned about what different colours can portray, and analyzed why advertisers may have selected those colours to represent their products.
Have you ever ordered a burger from a fast food restaurant and it looked NOTHING like the burger on their menu? We learned how some advertisements can set "unrealistic expectations" of the product we expect to receive.

We had reading buddies with Mr. Foster's class.
Inquiry into Math
Today's lesson was all about Perimeter!!
Perimeter is the total measurement around an object or figure. To solve the perimeter of an object or figure, you need to add all of its side lengths together.
Ex. To find the perimeter of the rectangle above, you add 10 + 10 + 3 + 3. Depending on how many sides a figure has, that will determine how many numbers you will be adding together.
For example, if the shape has 4 sides, your formula would be: P= S + S + S + S. (S represents all of the different length measurements in that shape. If the shape had 3 sides, your formula would be P= S + S + S.
