Dear parents and students,

Just a reminder that tomorrow is casual day!

Today's weather was lovely!! Students really enjoyed their time outside!

Today we once again practiced our Arts Night performance, students must bring in their permission forms in tomorrow.

Math:
In math, we checked our answers for surface area and then the students completed a review packet. As a class we worked through 2 examples of how to find the surface area of a rectangular prism and 2 examples of how to calculate the surface area of a triangular prism. The test will be next Tuesday.  Here are pictures of the anchor charts with overviews of the concepts that the students have learned.  The students will be provided with an answer key and extra practice tomorrow.

Language:
In the afternoon, we looked at setting in a narrative story and how the best settings use descriptions from our 5 senses. We also write a note about Simile, Metaphor, and Personification.Students were then responsible for choosing an image below and write about the setting using their 5 sense. If this was not done in class it is for homework.

Tomorrow, we will continue from here, so students should complete their setting examples.

UOI:Coding
In UOI, we first completed presentations on Project 101. Afterwards, the students were introduced to Scratch, the software we will be using for coding. Here is the video we watched in class that introduced the topic. The students created accounts and starting practicing. For homework tonight, the students need to complete tutorials 1-3 in the guide menu. Here is a step-by-step guide to the Slides from today in case students were away or get confused. ***please make sure you start a new project for each new tutorial you are completing***
