ASSIGNMENT #2 -MATH – Email to me

There are two perimeter worksheets today. You may do one or both sheets. Some of the shapes are irregular and have more than 4 sides – be careful figuring out the perimeter of these shapes. Please write the equation for how you figured out the perimeter – just like you saw in the Khan Academy video yesterday. So if a rectangle has sides that are 4 units long and 2 units wide, you would write 4+4+2+2=12 units or 4+2+4+2=12 units

ASSIGNMENT #1 – WRITING ROBERT MUNSCH STORIES – today and tomorrow

Today we will begin to write our Robert Munsch stories.  We are now in the DRAFT stage of the writing process. You should have both of your planning sheets to look at so you can remember your characters, setting, every day event, silly event, repetition and silly sounds. You can write your draft on this Beginning Middle End sheet (unfortunately it might not have enough lines though) or you can write on your own piece of paper. Remember to write with many details and include description of what is happening for each part of the story.

ASSIGNMENT #2 – MATH

Perimeter is the distance around the outside of a 2D or two dimensional shape with straight sides such as a square, triangle or rectangle.  Perimeter is found by adding together the length of all the sides.

Watch this Perimeter video on Khan Academy and do this Perimeter Worksheet. Remember to ONLY count around the outside of the shape NOT all of the squares!

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: GO NOODLE or PE with JOE workout
