December News

We were lucky enough to win a party with Spartacat from the Ottawa Senators hockey team! The students had lots of fun hanging out with him and they enjoyed all of the treats he handed out! Great job reaching our monthly reading goal grade threes!!

Thank you to everyone who has donated to our Advent Project this year. The Shepherds of Good Hope really appreciate all of the donations our school has brought in.

MATH - 
We have begun 2D Geometry.  We will move on to 3D figures in January.  The expectations are as follows:
  • I can identify and compare various polygons (triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, heptagons, octagons) and sort them by their geometric properties (# of sides, side lengths, # of interior angles, # of right angles)
  • I can use a reference tool to identify right angles and to describe and compare angles as greater than, equal to, or less than a right angle
  • I can compare and sort prisms and pyramids by their geometric properties
  • I can construct rectangular prisms and describe geometric properties of prisms
  • I can solve problems requiring the greatest or least number of 2D shapes needed to compose a larger shape in a variety of ways
  • I can explain the relationships between different types of quadrilaterals 
  • I can identify and describe the 2D shapes that are found in 3D shapes 
  • I can describe and name prisms and pyramids by the shape of their base
  • I can identify congruent 2D shapes by manipulating and matching concrete materials
