Test Tomorrow
Tomorrow we will have our Geometry Test. Today we did lots of review of key concepts. I feel like we are in great shape (pardon the pun!).
- The boys and girls will need to identify prisms and pyramids
- Draw shapes with right angles, angles less than or greater than a right angle
- Compare two 2D shapes
- Be familiar with the term congruent (same size and shape)
- Nets
- Covering shapes using pattern blocks
Again - all of this was reviewed today as a whole class. I have updated Prodigy to include some 3D questions too.

Math Test Wednesday
On Wednesday we will have our unit three math test.
It will cover:
- 2D Shapes and describing them by their various attributes (side lengths, angles, parallel sides)
- Angles (comparing them to a right angle)
- Congruent Shapes
- Identifying shapes
- Pyramids and Prisms
- Nets

The Legend of the Candy Cane
Today we watched a video called the Legend of the Candy Cane. It was a great video that helped the kiddies understand how the candy cane is a symbol of Jesus. We then wrote a short reflection about this Christmas symbol.
We have been trying to remind ourselves often in Portable Four that Jesus is the reason for the season. Sometimes the excitement of elves and Santa gets the best of us and these little reminders of Jesus and how we can see him at Christmas are important!

Conguent
Today we were introduced to a very sophisticated term for quite an easy concept!
The new word is "congruent."
Congruent means that two or more shapes are exactly the same size and shape.
Here is an activity...find pairs of congruent shapes.
How do you know they are congruent?

2D on Prodigy!
I have inputted some 2D shape activities on Prodigy today.
This is a great way to support student learning at home!

Letter Writing
In Language we have begun a mini letter writing unit. The Christmas season is always a fun time to learn this writing format so that we can write letters to Santa! We will finish our letters to Santa Claus next week so that he has plenty of time to write us back!
