It was a busy week, and I want to thank those parents who sent items in for both our Resource Day and the Valentine's Day party. Both were a huge success!
Math This week in math the students will classify triangles as isosceles, scalene, or equilateral and right, acute, or obtuse. They will also classify 4 sided figures as quadrilaterals, parallelograms rhombus, rectangles, squares or trapezoids. They will draw circles and identify the chords, diameter and radius of a circle. There will be quizzes throughout the week to test the students knowledge of these concepts as we work with them.
Spelling- The students will work with words that have the ed and ing endings. They will be responsible for w.b. pages 252-254. There will be a test on Friday.
Reading In reading this week the students will continue to work on their poetry and understand the elements of poetry. They will will also continue to read passages and write extended responses to their reading.
