Valentine's Day

Can you believe February is over and with a final snow fall to match only a few more months ahead but lets make those count !

It seems everyone is learning about angles in math so I am here to help with a few suggestions.

Help your student by using their arms as angles ....

• For a right angle, they can stretch her left arm straight up and her right arm straight out to her side.



• An acute angle is smaller, so have them move their arms closer together



• An obtuse angle is larger than a right angle, so they could move their arms wider apart.



• Next, see how many angles your child can find in the alphabet. Have them print all 26 uppercase letters on a large sheet of paper.



• Together, look for angels in the real world. Right angles will be easier to find – they’ll be in corners of rooms where one wall meets another, on window frames, or at the edge of a square sandbox.

Just have fun with this project and your child will be proud of how many angles they can find.

Have a great weekend and just enjoy each other,

Principal Schultz
