Dear Parents and Students, October 26, 2015
Mrs. Bufkin and I are assigning a new project today, October 26, and it will be due Friday, October 30. The project will be a test grade, and will be on polygons and quadrilaterals that we have already discussed in class. Each student has a study guide/booklet of the different polygons and quadrilaterals that we have talked about in class. If by chance a student does not have the booklet, you can find it uploaded on my school webpage. You can find my webpage by going to the Scott County School District website, at the top of the site click on schools, find Bettye Mae Jack and click on it, click visit website, click on school staff that can be found to the left of the page under news and events, and lastly click on Shannon Jamison. On my webpage I have a calendar and forms. If you click on my calendar you can view when assignments have been assigned and when they are due. If you click on forms you will find the polygon and quadrilateral powerpoint that can be useful for the project.
For the project the students will need to draw a picture using the different polygons and quadrilaterals they have learned. The drawing must be completely drawn with the different polygons and not free drawn. The following are the amount of shapes I must see in the picture:
· At least 4 triangles
· At least 6 quadrilaterals, such as a square, rectangle, parallelogram, etc.
· At least 4 octagons, hexagons, or both.
Another requirement of the project is the students must write on a separate sheet of paper the definitions and characteristics of the different polygons and quadrilaterals that were used. The paper must be stapled behind the picture. Also, on the back of the drawing the students must write a paragraph explain what their drawing is about. They can write a story about it if they would like. There is a rubric attached to the back of this letter to let you know what each thing will be scored as. Thank you for your time and effort on this project.
Sincerely,
Miss Jamison
