Thank you to all of the parents that were able to make it to our Student-Led conferences yesterday and today. It is always nice to have a chat and it is a valuable experience for students to show off their hard work.
We moved on to our measurement unit in math this week, looking at how to convert millimeters to centimeters to meters, etc. We learned that the metric system was designed to allow easy conversions using the power of ten and by moving the decimal place to make greater or smaller numbers as you move from one unit to the next. After looking at perimeter at the start of next week, we will be moving on to angles and triangles.
The students completed their perspective drawing project this week by finishing draft #2, completing a rubric grading themselves on perspective, detail, and composition and by writing up a paragraph on how they improved. Looking at their work, it is obvious that no matter where they started improvement can be made with deliberate practice.
Have a great weekend!
Mr. Cull
