Today in language we continued working on our
interview questions.
In math we looked at the practical applications
of geometry in the real world. The student’s came up with superb examples of
transformations in everyday life. For example, Ella said, “the ski lift is a
translation, you start at the bottom of the mountain and then you move up to a
new location at the top.”
Molly said, “turning a doorknob is an example of a rotation.” They
recorded their observations to complete their assessment on transformations.
The remainder of the math lesson was used to finish up their symmetry
assignments and they turned out great!
We had a work period after music and most students utilized the time to
practice their spelling Bee words.
During our unit of inquiry we wrote a reflection
on the progress we have made so far. I gave a tutorial about citations, and we
edited our body paragraphs to prepare for the third draft.
