The Weekend!

It's been a busy week exploring angles in the real world. Today we calculated the angles in multiple triangles in the Louvre. Earlier in the week we classified Usain Bolt's body geometry at the beginning of a 100 m dash and we also found relationships in parallel and intersecting lines.

Relating our math to real life situations seems to help us understand concepts a little clearer and gives us a vivid reminder of what we have studied. This upcoming week we will be talking about similar and congruent shapes. Students should make sure to have their Evernote notebooks up to date with all of the weeks math concepts. If you need to refer back to our Google Docs please do so.

In literacy we seem to be done our descriptive settings on Voice Thread. We will be playing them for the class this week and hope to be terrified by your spooky scenes.

We say a sad goodbye to a great member of 7M. Brooklyn we wish you all the luck in the world over at Anderdon and we will miss you lots!

Congrats to our October Students of the Month!
