What's the scoop in Room 14? Let's check it out!
Math:
We took up the work today from the previous day. We were able to review the concepts of circumference, area and perimeter. We then moved on to a new lesson on using grids to calculate perimeter and circumference. The students used geoboards in order to calculate the perimeter and area of irregular figures.
The students created their own title page for the new Unit of Inquiry on World Religion. Students presented religious artifacts from home and shared the meanings behind them and their own family's beliefs.
