We also painted our Peruvian masks!
For Math this week, we talked about prisms and pyramids. The students used 3D models to discuss and record the number of bases, faces, vertices and edges.
Pyramids have one base and triangular faces. A prism has 2 matching bases that are polygons. The rest of the faces are rectangles.
We also discussed cylinders, cones, spheres and cubes.
The students discussed how these shapes were the same and how they were different. They compared the faces, vertices and edges and recorded them in their flip books. They then went on to sort all of these geometric 3D objects by their attributes.
They were asked to build 3-D shapes using toothpicks and clay. They presented their shapes to the class by naming their shape and telling us how many edges and vertices it had.
Our last Math unit of the year is "Statistics and Probability". We started a new booklet called...My Data Diary to plan our snacks for the movie day next week. Our first question was, "What is your favourite kind of drink?" The class collected first hand data and organized it using a tally chart. Then they used this information to create a bar graph. The results showed that rootbeer is the most popular movie drink. Our second question was, "What are your favourite kind of chips?" The results of this survey showed that Doritos are the most popular. Next week we will decide on candy and popcorn flavour.
Our Social "suitcases" are finished and the presentations were very informative.

In Art, we worked on a project called, "I'm FLIPPING OUT over summer because...". We used watercolour paints to make a beach background. Then, using scrapbook paper, we made a pair of flip flops for our beach. Our writing piece included all of the things we are looking forward to this summer!

On Friday, we set our butterfly free.
Congratulations to our new "Student of the Week"!
