I always like to take the kids out for the first snowfall of the year, and yesterday was a great opportunity to make some shapes in the snow! We made mostly 2d shapes, but created some 3D shapes as well.
Hello to my dear students and families, I hope you are all staying healthy as we navigate this difficult time in our country, and across the globe. I, and my family, are well. We are keeping to ourselves, doing lots of arts and crafts and spending some time outdoors when we can. Starting on Monday, I will be posting a few activities each day that students can try at home. No obligation, but if you’re looking for something to do, I will stick some activities up here and you’re welcome to comment with your answers and ideas. My understanding is that the ministry of education will also be providing curriculum-based programming during school closures. I will update with any links to that, once they are published. Please continue to check the TDSB website for any updates as well. Wishing you all the best and very much hoping to see you April 6, Mrs. Page
As you know, we have been studying geometry in Math this month. We have been looking at all sorts of different 2d and 3d shapes. Recently, we looked at some examples of Islamic art and architecture that featured several geometric patterns. We love the symmetry and design in these pieces. We are currently creating our own ‘Tiles of Infinity’ project, inspired by the beautiful Islamic artwork seen in class.
My apologies for not posting sooner. We’ve had a busy couple weeks finishing up our shapes unit and moving on to graphing. We also finished our story retells and have been enjoying some new classroom books. I’d like to thank our special friends who donated toys for all our students, which the kids received yesterday. My gratitude to all of you for your well-wishes and kind gifts. I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday filled with time together as a family. I look forward to seeing you all in 2020. All the best, Megan Page
