Good Afternoon Everyone,

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Tomorrow is day 4 (Casual day, Bake sale and Library). This month our class is responsible for hosting the bake sale along with Ms. Bannon's class. Tomorrow and Wednesday we ask students to bring in some delicious treats! A kind reminder all items brought in for the bake sale must be peanut and tree nut free!! If it does not say 'peanut and tree nut free' on the label unfortunately we will not be able to sell it and the item will be sent home. 

**Please do NOT order hot lunch for the following days: March 4th as that is the day we are going skiing and March 25th as we are planning a field trip. You will not be reimbursed nor will the lunch be saved.

A Note from Mrs. Hayward:

Jump Rope for Heart: 

Inquiry into Language

Today students wrote their spelling words in their agenda, began on spelling lesson #22 and read chapters 19-21.

Inquiry into Mathematics

Today we learned how to sketch polygons. Perimeter=(shorter side + longer side) x 2. Area = (base x height) /2. Please see our examples below.

Reminders:

1. To find the perimeter of a polygon: Add all of the sides lengths together

2. To find the perimeter of a parallelogram: follow the formula (l+w) x 2

3. To find the perimeter of a square: Follow the formula l x w

Perimeter of a Polygon

P= 5 + 3 + 8 + 2 + 3 + 1 

P= 22cm

Perimeter of a Parallelogram

Formula: (l + w ) x 2

P= (5 + 4 ) x 2

P= 9 x 2

P= 18cm

Perimeter of a Square

Multiply the side length you know (5) by how many total sides there is in a square (4)

P = 5 x 4

P = 20cm

Finding the area and perimeter of a rectangle

P = (l + w) x 2

A = l x w

To find the area of a parallelogram you must follow the formula: base x height. The base is any side of the parallelogram and the height is the length of the line segment that joins parallel sides and is perpendicular to the base. 

Volume of a triangular prism: To find the volume of a triangular prism we break it up into two parts. First you need to find the area(Base area) of the triangular face: (b x h) / 2. Then to find the volume of the triangular prism you use: base area x height.
