Students should be able to:
*estimate the measure of an angle
*measure an angle using a protractor
*identify the type of angle (aigu, obtus, plat, droit, rentrant)
*find a missing angle knowing that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle equals 180'
*find a missing angle knowing that the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral equals 360'

We will be reviewing all concepts in class.

CFOO!

 In Français, it's time for another CFOO (Le Club Fabuleux des Orateurs et Oratrices)! 

This is a public speaking "club" that will help students improve their oral French skills through short speeches.
This time around, students can choose any one of the presentation options that they have not already presented. They will prepare their short oral presentation, fulfilling all of the criteria (listed on the pages they have in their binder).
Students should also keep in mind eye contact, volume and expression during their presentation.

The CFOO Presentations will take place on Wednesday, April 21st.

Thrival Kits!

 Thrival Kits were created with the Canadian Mental Health Association to promote mental wellbeing for children.

Each student got the chance to build and decorate their very own box. They then received a wellbeing journal and a touchstone. Also included was a magnet and a seed paper.

Students are encouraged to take care of their mental health by using these objects.
