Students learn another formula, hear Choctaw author Greg Rodgers


In math we introduced another formula.  We learned that to find the area of a triangle we divide the product of the base and height by 2.  We also figured out that we can take an odd shape that looks like a square and a triangle have been meshed and figure the area of it.  We first find the area of the square, then the triangle section, and then we add the two together. 

We did spelling for bellwork since we were fortunate enough to have an author’s visit today.  We used our words in analogies.

Choctaw author Greg Rodgers 
Our author was Greg Rodgers.  He is an author and a Choctaw storyteller.  He was very interesting. He left me a book of his and I will share the stories with the class.  Information on ordering his books will be coming home in tomorrow’s folders.

Only 10 more days!  Remind your child, as I do daily, that we still have to follow procedures.  I know it is difficult with the beautiful weather and all.  But It will make the last few days more pleasant for everyone if we remember this.
