Social Links and Geometry

Today we started of by sending some people to go and put mission impossible and then go to the computer lab and then practice our typing skills. After recess we did math for math we first did sudoku then Mr. Ball told use to take out a sheet of paper and he told us to use the paper to right as many geometry words as we can. After we wrought down the words we talked about what the words mean some of the words we talked about was the arm, 90% degree angle, what parellegram, and we disused what rhombus means. A reminder going out that if you made the floor hockey team then you have to pay 5 dollars. We are now starting a new unit

in Math which is geometry.

After Mr. Ball gave use about 5 minutes to look up things in the room that had a 90% angle if one student had your idea then you croos that item out some of the things we found in the class room or out in the hallway was the building, Mr. Balls' diploma, paper, the white board, the smart board, Mr. Balls' computer, the T.V, books, the book shelf, and extra.

After we finished naming the things in the classroom our class talked about how to measure an angle. We also talked about the vertex and the angle, we also learned that if we move the length the armies still going to be the same, and he also talked about tech elbow and angles, something to remember.

We had mission-impossible in gym and it was boys VS girls and boys won about 5 timed and girls about 1-2 times.

Mr. Ball rearrange Mrs. Petersen's key board keys to say Love Aaron because she pranced him for the attendance this morning.

We went to the the computer lab to 'tweet' during french and got kicked out by the 6a's.

When we came back we presented the rest of our planet projects. We used cell phones and bipods to help us remember the facts, because we knew that we were having a little quiz afterwards.
