Update 3/27

Hi Parents!

This week in math, we are working on finding the measure of angles that are separated into smaller parts.  We are also continuing to work toward mastering how to use a protractor to draw and measure angles.  Tonight, students should complete page 625 in their textbooks.  They've been given protractors to use; please make sure those protractors return to school!

In reading, students are reading an article about bullying and will be practicing answering text-dependent questions and finding evidence to support answers in the text.  They will also practice analyzing some of the vocabulary words they encounter in the story.  In writing, we're continuing to work on our poetry anthology project.

Finally, we've kicked off our "Zombie" PBL project, so be sure to ask your child to explain what he or she will be working on for the next couple of months!  This project will address most of our Social Studies standards, as well as many reading and writing ones.  We will continue to have Science lessons; students are finishing up a final project in the electricity unit and then will move on to working with properties of light.

Please don't forget that students are out of school on March 31 for a teacher work day.  This is the last week of quarter 3, and report cards will be sent home NEXT week.

Have a great evening!
