The 4s are away on their trip to the Medieval Fayre today.  I  hope they are staying dry!

In math, the 3s carried on with transformational geometry.  Yesterday, we did translations (slides).  Today, we worked on reflections (flips).  Here is a fun site from the Long Island Children's Museum.

The most fun kind of translation is a tessellation.  Practice with this site.

Tomorrow (Thurs.) - the grade 4s go to the Medieval Fayre.  Students are asked to bring a pencil so they can participate in the scavenger hunt.  Also, if students are interested in buying a souvenir, they should bring some money.  Finally, make sure you watch the weather report for Thurs.  Grade 4 will be spending most of their time outside.  Here is the website if you want a sneak preview.

Permission forms - grade 4s need to submit signed permission forms for the trip to the Medieval Fayre on Thursday.  I had thought the trip was on Wednesday, but found my mistake today.

In math, we continue to work on probability.  We have been working a lot with spinners, determining what gives us the best chance to "win" in certain situations.  Look at this:
