Good Afternoon Everyone,

I hope you had a wonderful day! Tomorrow is day 5 (Gym, Music and Pink Shirt Day). 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, made in a peanut/ tree nut free facility and have no 'may contain' !! 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. Tomorrow is also Pink Shirt day. Please only wear a fully pink shirt, not red, blue purple etc. If you are not participating in pink shirt day, please wear your gym uniform to school and bring your school day uniform. Also, for those who are participating in the Caribou contest the next contest is tomorrow. Please arrive at 7:15am with a charged and working laptop for a 7:30am start.

Inquiry into Language

Today students completed reading chapters 19-23. Once they finished reading they began on this week literature circle roles. Literature circle roles are due on Friday. 

Inquiry into Mathematics

Today students worked on our review. Tomorrow we will take up the review and on Friday we will have our test. 

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.
