Math - The students should bring home their text books to help them review for the quiz covering lessons 21.1(faces, edges, vertices, and identification of solid figures) 21.3 (Patterns of solid figures) and 21.4 (different views of solid figures) in chapter 21.
Reading - This week in reading the students will continue to work on author's purpose and motivation. The students will work on writing an extended response to a passage using the text and their own ideas. This involves the students using evidence from the text and then making inferences on their own to explain what the evidence means. They may be bringing this home to work on. They have samples in their reading binders that we have done together. Any help that you can give them on this would be great.
Reading folders are due on Thursday of this week.
English - The test over adjectives will be on Thursday, instead of Wednesday this week. Look for homework to come home that will help the students review.
Science - In science this week the students will learn about different kinds of energy and where it comes from. They will investigate variables that affect the amount of potential energy an object has. They will recognize that energy can change forms and that electricity can be produced by energy transormations of different kinds.
