Geometry

On Monday we started our math unit on geometry. I was observed when we were classifying the different shapes. My principal said I did a really good job this lesson and he has seen me progress much more than when he previously observed me. I was very thrilled to hear this. Today I had my meeting with my principal, my teacher, and myself because today was my teacher’s last day. She is due to have surgery tomorrow and will be on leave for the rest of term 3 (two more weeks). It was sad saying my last goodbye when all of the other teachers are still there until the end of the term.

Back to my geometry lesson today, we made nets and cut them out. We turned those nets into buildings to create our own town. Needless to say, the town came out much better than expected!!! I was so happy with how it turned out because we have Quest Fest on Thursday. Quest Fest is another term for open house night and parents are invited to come to the school at 6:00 with their children to see the work that the class has done thus far. We will also be playing a game that we have researched and practiced. The questions will be based on famous Australians and I will be the host since my teacher won’t be there. I am excited to meet some of the parents just before I depart back to New York. I think I need to work on my parent interaction especially because I don’t have much experience interacting with the parents based on their child’s progress in school.
