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.

Brain Concept Maps

Happy Wednesday, friends of learning!

We started our day with a "Les chevaliers de la table ronde" session.

Today we learned all about mind/concept mapping!

After watching a couple of short videos and looking at a few exemplars, we were ready to get started on our very own mind maps showing all that we've learned about the brain so far!

Here is a mind map all about how to create a mind map!

Using our brain note booklets for reference, we started creating our own mind maps.

As we continue to move forward with our brain/mental health/well-being lessons, we will keep adding more and more info to our mind maps. 

This is also a skill we can use for any topic in any subject. 

Creating a well-organized, colourful mind map with pictures, key words and arrows has shown to increase our brain's retention of material by 20%! Wow!

It's Great to Be Back!

Hello Room 208 friends!
Happy Monday! Happy New Year!
It was so wonderful seeing everyone back at school with so many stories to share!

We started our morning learning about what kept us busy over the break: sleeping in, reading books, eating candy and watching movies were very popular squares on our "Trouve quelqu'un qui a..." bingo!

We then paired up once to do a special "getting to know you" interview. We started by asking our partner 15 questions and then took their answers and put them into a silly "Mad Libs" style paragraph. This activity helped us get our brains back in to "french immersion" mode after a two-week break by having us read aloud and answer questions IN FRENCH! :)

1. January Scholastic orders - due Friday, January 18.

Have a great first week back, everyone! :)
