Today we did two rotations of math activities. The students are grasping acute, obtuse and right angles quickly. I talked about degrees in a circle and used skateboarding terms 180's, 360's etc. to help understand what 90 degrees is suppose to mean. For now if Gr. 2's know what an angle is that is great, and if Gr. 3's can tell if an angle is greater or less than a right angle we are doing great. But, many of the students, are already using acute, obtuse and right! : ) We continued with number patterns, expanded form, using base ten blocks to subtract.
We had our final class with Dr. Weinstangel, and we worked together to compose a piece of music using Summer as the theme, and also, worked on the soundscapes for the poems we will perform on Friday morning.
The students visited Mr. Brutto for DPA and upon return worked on Spelling. Todays activity was to write a sentence for each spelling word in their list.
