Religion
Today we discussed the first Easter story. We used the 5 Ws to summarize the story. Our next Easter story...


Where does Jesus appear next?

Math
Today we began our unit on 3-D Geometry. Today was a day to learn different terms and practice sorting 3-D shapes using rules. We discussed the different properties of 3-D shapes.

You should know the difference between prisms and pyramids and be able to tell the number of faces, bases, edges and vertices of pyramids and prisms (grade 4). Review new vocabulary on the green pages of your duotang. What is the relationship between the number of sides in the base of a prism and the number of edges? What is the relationship between the number of sides in the base of a pyramid and the number of faces? You should start to see patterns.

Grade 5 we talked about right prisms vs oblique prisms, curved shapes and polyhedrons.

We primarily focused on regular polyhedrons.



When you are asked to sort based on a sorting rule think of the properties of the 3-D shapes including shape of faces, number of faces.

Literacy
Parvana felt free today. Why?

Homework
As we near to the end of the school year, completion of homework is VERY important. Some of you try not to have homework. You work really hard, but sometimes you rush. It is essential that you review new learning each and every evening.

Reminders:
