 Math:
Today students learned about angles. We focused on 90 degree angles, more than 90 degree angles, and less than 90 degree angles.

We read through the description we were given on pg. 56. We then practiced showing these angles with our arms.




As a class we complete pg. 56 and students completed pg. 57 on their own.
