Introduction to the Metric System

Metric System

1. Our knowledge of measurement will go to new horizons today as we enter into the world of the metric system. In our everyday lives, we are familiar with using the U.S. Standard system of inches, yards, gallons, etc.

Let's take a walk with Maggie to learn more about the principals of metric measurement. Follow this link for more information.

2. Mr. Frisch will have some data for you using the U.S. system of measurement, but you will need to convert these numbers into metric.
 Click here for an online conversion chart.

3. Yesterday, we entered into the new world of Cubism. Many of you found new and exciting paintings that attracted your attention. Then you had the opportunity to sketch and paint your own personal representations of these paintings. Before we return to finish our paintings, we should use the inspirations of these painting to spark our writing activities.  Looking at the three paintings below, and answer the questions that Mr. Frisch has written on the board.

    An awesome cat. I think the third one the cat is very beautifuly drawn. With the how it looks how it pops out. I also think it's well drawn with how it looks similar to a real cat but not exactly real. I dont realy care about other opinions on this beautiful art work, I just care about mine. On this awesome art work, I love it.

    I like this picture because its so cool and different. I like the picture because of the color and the way the sticks point out. Also the way it looks in the middle it looks like its leading to another room or place. On the sides it looks like the arms are sticking out like a robot. It also looks like theres five hallways because if you look you can see in the middle you can see yellow like the sun and four sqares are like leading to another room.
    Its so colorful and i love it! I like the colors because it makes the 3D shapes look cool. It looks so different and not in a bad way. I just love how they put the blue,green,orange,and yellow.

    My favorite cubism might be the first one it is the Donald Duck . It is so creative it looks like a real Donald Duck.It looks so hard it probably took them one and a half days to make that cubism. Or maybe even less days to make the cubism.The colors are so colorful. It looks like Donald is about to go to sleep and looking up to the sky.

    My favorite picture is the kitty cat on the blog. The kitty has four defrent beutiful colors the colors are blue,black,white,and orange. I love the blue on the cat it looks pretty cool. My favorite color is blue it is so beutiful with blue. The cat is wonderful and pretty.
    The cat is laying down on the floor is what i think. The cat makes me feel colm. I wonder what the picture is about. I also wonder, if it has a tail. That cat is the most prettyest picture ive ever saw. That is one creative drawing.


    THE END

    Donald Duck is a wise painting to choose. Donald is mean but he is funny. Donald is the best. In this painting Donald is pointing at the edge.Donald is wearing pajamas.

    I love this painting because its colorful. It looks like confetti is in the green air. I see purple TVs. It even has my favorite color blue.The green background is so shiny.I see a quad of tables. If you squint your eyes and look to the right it looks like a star a little bit.Im going to call it color. It's like it's a hipnotize thing. I really like it. I see a little dot that looks like a card. I see blue triangles. I think of it as a funny looking bubble.

    This painting has a cartoon character named Donald Duck. I like it because it looks exactly like him. I like the eyes of Donald Duck in this painting. I wish I can ask the artist what inspired you to paint this? There is so much detail to this piece of art. Do you like this painting to?
