The first group did a wonderful job on their performance. The costumes made such a difference. Make sure you practice reading your lines with EXPRESSION and use of GESTURE (body movements). Don't forget to respond to what other characters are saying on stage with EXAGGERATED facial expression.

Keep practicing for your performance unless you presented today.

Math
Today we talked about a practical perimeter problem with tiles or stone. Example:
If you took 16 square tiles and made a square from them, what would be the perimeter?

Each side has a length of 4 units so the perimeter would be 4 units x 4 equal sides = 16 units

If you took the same 16 tiles and laid them in a straight row, what would be the perimeter?

The perimeter would be 16 units + 1 unit (length + width) = 17 units x 2 = 34 units

A square has a smaller perimeter than a thin rectangle. The areas however, are the same. Both shapes are made from 16 square tiles.

If you had to put a fence around each garden and fencing costs $10 per unit, how much would it cost to fence each garden?

Grade 4 your perimeter test will be tomorrow. Make sure you can do each of the types of questions in your notebook and on the blog.

Grade 5 we forgot to talk about perimeters of irregular polygons and regular polygons, so your test will be Thursday. Review the examples on the practice sheet. Please ask questions if you're still uncertain how to find the lengths of the unknown sides.

A regular polygons is a polygon that has ALL EQUAL SIDES. To find the perimeter, multiply the length of one side by the number of sides.

Practice examples:

What is the perimeter of a regular heptagon with a side length of 7 m?
What is the length of the sides of regular pentagon with a perimeter of 30 cm?

Literacy
Everyone's heart broke when we learned Stella's fate today. What promise did Ivan make to Stella before she died? Do you think he'll keep his promise?
