Lyrics To Our 3D Shapes Song

Each table of students was given a three-dimensional figure and about five minutes to write some lyrics about the figure, including all of it traits.

Set to the tune of AC/DC's Back In Black...

Oh how I love my 3D shape,
only one face and called a cone.
We learn it, we write it,
no edges and no verticies.

We got a cylinder, 2 faces.
No verticies, no edges, just faces.
Too bad for them faces
They have no friends

I love three dimensional figures.
I love three dimensional figures.

The square based pyramid
has 8 edges, 5 faces, and 5 verticies
Faces rhymes with spaces
Done, thank you.

The sphere is crazy because
it goes round and round
She feels sad and different,
no faces, edges, or verticies

I love three dimensional figures.
I love three dimensional figures.

A cube is a 3D shape
with 6 faces, 8 verticies,
and 12 edges, yeah we like them
because they are helpful

We have a shape
it’s name is rectangular prism
it has 6 faces, 8 verticies, and 12 edges.
It’s a beautiful shape.

Trying Something New

Watching videos in the classroom is usually a quiet activity. Each student is left to their own thoughts as they sit back and view the film. Is that good? Sometimes. But what if we had a way to communicate as we watched a video? What if students were able to share their thoughts and questions throughout?

Well, we gave it a go...here's what happened...

Applying What We Know

We applied what we know about Author's Purpose, Text Type, and Text Strucutre, to the world of music today. We analyzed Super XX Man's "House/Home". This is some video of the kids jumping right in and singing along with it.

It is great to see everyone again. You all look so old now. Here is a drawing that Erick did over brack, clearly he spent too much time watching Fairly Odd Parents.

Lots of homework, don't forget! Also, we will be welcoming our new student tomorrow.
