Geometry ~ 3D Shapes!

So for the past few weeks, my group has been learning about Geometry/3D Shapes! The difference between a 3D shape and a 2D shape is that, a 2D shape is flat and a 3D shape is what you can hold. We also learned about vertices, edges and faces. Vertices are the corners of the shape. Edges are what connects the vertices together. Faces are the flat sides. We even learned about the actual name of a 3D shape. What I will be showing you now is a task that I have to do based on 3D shapes. I created a DLO using google drawing about 3D shapes. We had to explain what the shape was, how many edges does it have, how many vertices does it have and how many faces does it have. I hope you like this DLO and I hope you have learned something today!

Reading Plus!

What is Reading Plus you say? Reading Plus is an awesome program that helps each student improve in their reading. This program can improve on your reading, understanding the message of the story and understanding new words that we don't know yet. This can also improve on how slow your reading or how fast your reading. So, you can read the same pace as everyone else in your reading groups in school. Another thing I wanna share with you about Reading Plus is how you can also do this at home and share this program with your parents! This program is a fun and easy way to improve in your reading for the future! I love Reading Plus and I can assure you that you would love it too!

It Is Important To Show Respect!

It Is Important To Show Respect!

Today I will be writing something to you about what my class is focusing on this term. Respect. Giving respect to someone can brighten their day. Respect is important to each and every person around us because, it can always make a positive vibe inside yourself and in the area you are in. Showing respect to a stranger or to anyone you know, doesn't mean you get nothing in return. Happiness is what you get in return! Respect isn't just important to other people it is also important to other area's and even animals. So why don't you start showing respect today? Showing respect to other people is more important then getting any kind of reward because, the kind of reward you will get is happiness. 

Science - Parachute Experiment

Last couple of days, 8Bh has been doing an experiment in science that was related to flight. I will be talking about our experiment that was about parachutes. First of all we made mini parachutes in groups of 3. We used strings, a plastic bag, some tape and 3 paper clips to make it. We also had a piece of paper to write down our prediction, how we did it and extra details about the distance we dropped the parachute and how long did it take to reach down to the ground. We tried it outside, but it didn't exactly go well. So, we went to the learning commons, and dropped our parachutes at the top step of the stairs. My groups goal was for our parachute to fall elegantly down to the ground. And it did! I had so much fun doing this experiment, that I want to do it again some time! 

Kindness Around Us - Cybersmart.

Today I will be sharing my opinion on an article that I have read about random act of kindness on Instagram. A high school student created a anonymous Instagram account to share kind things/words about the people in his classroom. This went on for about a year until he wanted to come clean to all the people, who wanted to know who was behind all this random act of kindness on Instagram. I am relieved on how nice/kind this student can be and how it could've changed so many peoples lives on how they feel today. I think this is a good way to spread kindness and love to everyone around us. I also think that this article/student can persuade many students and adults to do the same thing. This has made me think more into what I should do to show some random act of kindness to other people. Even the people around us. Could you do the same thing one day?

Reading ~ Mr. Chelsea's Greenhouse!

Today I will be showing you my task about a novel called, Mr. Chelsea's Greenhouse. Mr. Chelsea is someone who loves gardening and roses. He does not have any kids, but he does have his two loving dogs that he loves. My task for this novel was to create a google drawing and create what Mr. Chelsea looks like without using google for help. The novel was helping us create what he looks like by this part of the story: 'He has a fierce look on his face most of the time. His thin lips are set in a straight, determined line. His eyebrows shoot out like white flames above his icy blue eyes.' Here is my google drawing that I have done and I hope you like it! (:
