Reading The students have chosen the books they would like to read for book clubs. If they did not get their first choice this time, they will get in next time. They have begun preparing their discussion sheets. They need to finish reading chapters 1-2 and complete the discussion sheet by Monday. We will have our first Book Club on Monday.
Science - In science this week the students will find out how a pulley and a wheel-and-axle help people do work.
Social Studies The students have been learning about Illinois as we continue our tour of the Midwest. They have chosen an important place, person, or thing about Illinois to research and report on.
Math This week the students will continue their study of geometry. The focus will be to review the concepts of congruent and similar figures. They will review how to make a shape flip, turn or slide to match another shape. Symmetry will be studied as well. A quiz over these concepts will be given on Thursday along with a division 6 fact test.
