In MUR...
This week we will finish up our science fiction unit! We have been focusing on character traits, feelings and attitudes, how setting affects the main character, tracking plot, and touching on the big themes in the book. Once that is wrapped up, we will be focusing on reading technical pieces or writing. WE will read two technical pieces focusing on problem and solution, sequencing, and cause and effect.
The spelling homework is due this Friday, February 21th.
In MUM...
This week we will be reflecting on the 3rd round of interim tests, reteaching the skills that need more time, and continuing to work on geometry, specifically identifying and classifying polygons, quadrilaterals and triangles. We will also learn about symmetry and how to identify if shapes are congruent or similar.
The homework packet from last week is due Tuesday, February 18th because of all the testing last week. The homework packet from this week will be due this Friday the 21st.
