I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome Joy Hakim to our camp!  She arrived to us earlier this month and we are very excited to have her join our camp!

This week:

NO THROW - stop cheering campers...lol!

Monday - Review Math  for a quiz on Tuesday on 2D shapes. Students should be able to describe a polygon by its name, the number of sides, number of vertices, number of equal sides, number of parallel sides,  and finally, number and type of angles.  The quiz will be to describe and label a shape according to its attributes.

Tuesday - Quiz on describing 2D shapes.

Wednesday - Review Capacity.

Thursday - Quiz on Capacity. This assessment will be factored in with their previous mark in measurement on Time/Calendar/Temperature.  Some students struggled in this unit, so hopefully this quiz will help bump up their mark a bit!

I will be assessing only part of the entire unit in Geometry, but I will be teaching it in its entirety.  I do not have time to get in the whole unit before term one ends, so we will simply assess what we have done and take our time in learning the rest. This will likely work in your child's favour, as the assessment will be focused and very brief. 

Friday  - WOW test, Language Quiz (focus is on plurals again and the use of then and than)

That should do it for this week!
