Math - Angles

Today in Math we started our review of angles.  I did really well on this in grade 9 and I find it easy, so I was excited to start this unit.  Mrs S. talked about how we can find angles everywhere in our daily lives.  We were asked to find a real life example of an angle and then tomorrow in class we are going to work on measuring them.  First, I thought of a clock.  Everytime you look at a clock you see an angle.  

But then I decided that this would be too easy.

So I found this picture.  There are 5 different sails, all with 3 or more angles to measure.  There is also the bottom of the boat.  I'll have to ask Mrs S. if those angles could be measured.  

Quote Response #1

This is the quote that Mrs. S. has asked us to respond to for this week.  She said that this was a good quote to think about after she gave us back our tests.  

All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. 
Ralph Waldo Emerson 

I really like this quote.  I think that it is simple and to the point.  For me it means that it doesn't matter how many mistakes I make, what's important is that I keep trying.  

Five paragraph essay - Introduction

Here is introduction paragraph.  Can you guys take a look at it and give me some feedback. is there anything I need to change?

From the parking lot I could see the towers of the castle of the Magic Kingdom standing largely against the blue sky. To the right, the tall peak of The Matterhorn rose even higher. From the left, I could hear the jungle sounds of Adventureland. As I entered the gate Main Street stretched before me with its quaint shops evoking an old-fashioned small town so charming it could never have existed. I was entranced. Disneyland may have been built for children, but it brings out the child in adults.
