Sixth graders work with angles

Diagram used by permission of Nathan Brunner

In math we worked with angles, first reviewing different types, such as acute, obtuse, right, and straight.  The first hurdle was remembering how to use a protractor.  If your child didn’t finish his/her work, he/she may come in tomorrow at recess to do so.  I didn’t allow them to take the protractors home, as things I send home to use tend not to come back, unfortunately. 

In spelling we found the correctly spelled word in groups of four.

In language we made make-shift books out of plain paper so that they may take their timelines and do a rough draft for their autobiography.  At the first of the year I bought a class set of hardbound blank books and we are going to use them.  They will not receive them until I see that they have their rough drafts truly ready.

I also sent home the last book order for the year.  A letter came home with them with the code for ordering online.  The last day to order is May 1^st.

Happy Tuesday.
