Thursday!

Hello everyone!

In Math today, we continued learning about "les transformations géométriques." After watching a fun BrainPop video about transformations, we practiced drawing translations, rotations and reflections of different letters of the alphabet.
* A translation is when an object is moved along the x, y or z axis.
* A rotation is when an object is rotated around a centre point (pivot). We can express a rotation as a fraction or in degrees.
* A reflection is when the object is flipped. An object can be reflected horizontally, vertically or diagonally, resulting in a image the appears backwards or upside-down.
We are currently working on these three transformations in isolation, but will combine the movements early next week.

In Français, we have started publishing our sentences about our New Year's resolutions. Today, after reviewing our sentence one final time, we used an iPad to access the website bonpatron.com to do a final check of our writing. The site will identify parts of our writing that need to be checked or modified, and it will help us by giving us options of how to make our writing better. Once we have done this final check, we will write a good copy of our resolution to be published in our classroom for our classmates to read.

In Science, we are working on graphing our Tomatosphere results, and have learned how to plot two sets of data on the same graph by using a legend. We will continue applying our graphing skills early next week as we complete our first lab demo in class.
