Landforms Due Tomorrow

As a class, we went over each landform's definition today. I helped them come up simple definitions and easy examples to remember.





Remember, THIS test is tomorrow! There will be a word bank, but they must know the definition, an example, and be able to recognize a picture of it.





We spent lots of time perfecting our books today. Neatness and organization is part of this grade!

The Greedy Triangle

We read this book today and acted it out with toothpicks (sides) and marshmallow (angles).


We all started out with a triangle at the beginning of the story. We had 3 sides and three angles.





Then, we became shapeshifters and created quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons,


heptagons, octagons, nonagons, and decagons!


It was fun (and yummy) activity!!!

Landforms

Our landform research is underway! Today we went over the guidelines for their landform books that are due Friday. We completed our first landform, ocean, together. I went step by step with them.


They have to find a definition,


draw a picture of the landform,


and give an example.


They are using books, the Internet, and the dictionary to help them research.


Their Landform Books are due Friday. They will also have a test on these 12 landforms on Friday. Encourage your child to bring his/her book home nightly to study.

Geometry

We worked on learning "Geometry Talk" this week. I explained to the students that learning the vocabulary in geometry is the majority of it.





We created a Geometry Vocabulary Book to help us learn all these new terms.
