Math - The students will use right angles and straight angles to determine the measure of the interior angles in pattern blocks.

The students will make angles using pattern blocks. We will also review the definition of a circle and understand and identify the radius, diameter, and circumference of a circle.
Spelling- This week the students will work with words that have the vowel consonant vowel pattern. They will be responsible for workbook pages 144-146.
