Hi Parents!
Today in math, we continued working in our Geometry unit. Students learned about lines of symmetry and about "flips," "turns," and "slides." Homework tonight is page 579 in the textbook. In class, students are still working on their Geometry Town project; be sure and ask your child how his/her project is coming along!
In reading, our current skill focus is differentiating between fact and opinion. This can make for some great discussion as you watch TV or shop together! In writing, students are learning all about analyzing and responding to poetry. Students will soon be writing their own poetry and will be compiling their own poetry anthology!
In Social Studies, we're wrapping up a discussion of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights this week. Today we discussed the rights we have as citizens and had some very interesting discussions. We may have a few budding lawyers in the group :-)
Please keep in mind that Terra Nova testing will be held next week. If at all possible, please try not to schedule any appointments or avoidable absences during the morning hours next week. Students should just come to school on time, well-rested, with a full belly :-)
Thanks so much for all your support! Have a great evening!
