Tuesday, February 27 (Pink Shirt day TOMORROW!)

 Hi parents,

We had another good day today!

In the morning, we revisited our exploration of forces and simple machines (which we are just about finished now) and learned about gears. We talked about where we can find gears, and what they're used for. The students used K-Nex to build their own simple gear systems.

After that, the students explored stations dedicated to reviewing the angles concepts that they didn't seem to grasp on our quiz last week.

We're going to have another angles quiz tomorrow which should be a breeze based on how well the class did today.

I honestly don't think any extra practice is needed, but if you did want to study at home tonight, it would be best to review:

-Rays vs. Line Segments

-How angles relate to a circle (i.e. how angles are used to indicate different rotations from 0 - 360 degrees)

In the afternoon, we had Music, daily LA, and Art. Tomorrow is Pink Shirt Day! Please encourage your child to wear pink if they have it, and if not, maybe just a favourite shirt or something in a similar colour.

Have a nice night!

Zac
