What's Happening?

Things to watch for in the upcoming days:
1.  Science and Media MUSICAL INSTRUMENT Assignment.  I sent home the rubrics for this assignment on Tuesday.  Students are to create a musical instrument that makes at least one pitch and has at least one volume.  This instrument will be used to create an in-class commercial to sell their creation.
2.  Probability experiments are happening all around our classroom.  Ask your child about what makes a FAIR spinner, or game of chance.
3. In Gym classes we are exploring badminton as a great way to exercise, work together and use our hand/eye coordination.

KITCHI Meeting

On THURSDAY, March 9th, 2017 please make every effort to attend our GRADE 4 CAMP KITCHI meeting in the Tay Shores Library at 7:00 PM.

ANGLES

We are learning about ANGLES in math this week.  An ACUTE angle can be found with a barely open door and book, a small slice of pie and pizza.  An OBTUSE angle can be found in a vary open door and book and an open pizza box.  A RIGHT angle or 90 degree angle can be found in almost everything!  Corners of desks, walls, floor tiles and anywhere a line meets up with another line in a point is a right angle.
Here are some videos we have been watching to help us understand angles.
