TESSELATIONS

Publicado por Sandra Noguera comentarios (0)







Students used several manipulatives to draw different examples of tesselations of polygons.
Hexagons, triangles, squares, dodecagons and octagons were arranged over a cardboard to build the tesselations.

FOOD WEBS

Publicado por Sandra Noguera comentarios (0)





Students chose an ecosystem to research. They found out about different plant and animal species that live there and their interactions.

With that information, they made a poster illustrating a food web found in the ecosystem they chose.

Forest, Desert and Ocean were some examples of ecosystems.

MENSAJE DE MS. TANIA

Publicado por Sandra Noguera comentarios (0)

Queridos padres de familia:

Hemos cerrado esta semana el logro de "Mitología" el cual estaba basado en un enfoque teórico, relacionado con la información literaria y cultural procedente de las antiguas civilizaciones, Grecia, Roma y los grupos prehispánicos más sobresalientes. Así como en el desarrollo de habilidades de comprensión lectora en los niveles argumentativo, interpretativo y propositivo, al leer diferentes mitos, fábulas y leyendas. Iniciamos en esta segunda etapa con el logro correspondiente a la producción de textos argumentativos. Es conveniente que todo lo que los chicos han consignado y pegado en el cuaderno ,sea reforzado diariamente. El discurso de apertura debió ser entregado el viernes para su revisión y evaluación, así como se les solicitó. Deben llevar a clase esta semana el texto " Orfeo, Sísifo y Cía" para continuar con la lectura.

Por último, quiero felicitar a sus hijos por el interés y alto compromiso que demostraron con las evaluaciones de la semana pasada. Se esforzaron bastante y fue evidente. Me siento orgullosa!!!

ALTAMIRA CARNIVALS

Publicado por Sandra Noguera comentarios (0)



Estudiantes y Padres de Familia:

Se acercan los Carnavales y en el Altamira desde ya estamos prestos a celebrar nuestra tradicional fiesta!!!.
La programación previa, a llevarse a cabo en el domo, en horario de lunch de cada sección, queda de la siguiente manera:
- Viernes 29 de enero: “Viernes de Reina y Lectura del bando”:
- Viernes 5 de febrero : “Viernes de Reina”

Para los “Viernes de reina “ los alumnos de Sexto A vendrán vestidos con jeans y camiseta naranja. Los reyes vienen vestidos de la misma manera y al momento del recreo se deben disfrazar.

El viernes 12 de febrero se realizará el Carnaval Altamira:
Horario: Desde las 7:00a.m. a 2:30p.m., en el polideportivo.
Cada grupo debe montar su coreografía. La música escogida debe ser informada para aprobación del Comité de Carnaval y con el fin de que no se repitan las canciones a presentar.

Adicionalemente, si tienen en sus casas decoración de carnaval que les sobre, favor enviarla para decorar el salón.


Gracias,


Mrs. Sandra

Some of the properties of polygons include tesselation, translation and reflection.
In this link there is a very interesting explanation and examples:

Practice lining up and reading a protractor while you measure a set of angles in this fun learning activity. The angles may range from 0° to 180°. The interactive protractor is already lined up with the vertex of each angle but you will have to rotate the protractor into proper position. The margin of error is only 1° and you must report measurement to the nearest whole number.

Find the missing angles, according to the angle sum of triangles and quadrilaterals:

Find the measurement of all the angles:

Haiti was hit on Tuesday by a massive earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale, causing the collapse of buildings, including a hospital, and causing widespread panic.

It was the largest earthquake to hit the impoverished country, since 1984. The vibrations lasted for more than a minute and were felt in Cuba.
Already the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti has been hit by a series of disasters recently and was battered by hurricanes in 2008.
Seventy per cent of Haiti's population lives on less than two dollars per day and half of its 8.5 million people are unemployed.

For more information about this natural disaster visit the following link:
WHAT IS AN EARTHQUAKE?

An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are recorded with a seismometer, also known as a seismograph. The magnitude of an earthquake ( Richter magnitude) is conventionally reported, with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being mostly imperceptible and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas.
At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacing the ground. When a large earthquake epicenter is located offshore, the seabed sometimes suffers sufficient displacement to cause a tsunami. The shaking in earthquakes can also trigger landslides and occasionally volcanic activity.
In its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event — whether a natural phenomenon or an event caused by humans — that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults, but also by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments. An earthquake's point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter. The term epicenter refers to the point at ground level directly above the hypocenter.

Alligators are raised commercially for their meat and skin, which is used for bags and shoes. They are notorious for their bone crushing bites and for million years they have been described as living fossils from the age of reptiles, having survived on Earth for 200 million years.
Melissa Cure and Camila Pico from 6B did a great exposition about this endangered specie. Congratulations, excellent job!!!!!
