Agenda:
We will be going outside for Fresh Air Friday tomorrow - Please make sure you wear your rain gear as we will be outside sketching the Nature Grounds as they look before the 9 aspens are planted this upcoming week. Next week we will sketch the after and we will use these images for our Bugle Article in the upcoming months. 

Also, if you have a copy of the Brentwood Bugle be sure to check it out for an article some of our classmates wrote.

Learning Intention
What did you learn today?
We learned about coordinate geometry, x and y axis and about Cartesian Planes. 
How did you show what you learned?
We observed Mrs. Saunders' dramatization of an elevator to demonstrate x and y axis - we will never get this image out of our mind and therefore we can never forget which is x and which is y.
What do you need to learn next?
We are applying our skills and creating images using coordinate geometry.
