December 3 - 7

Holy cow, it's December!

Math- We've started a new unit about polygons and angles.  Do some review with naming shapes and types of angles: acute (less than 90*), right (90*), obtuse (between 90-180*), straight (180*) and reflex (greater than 180*)

LA - Everyone got their projects in, thanks!  We're continuing to work on reading strategies.  Have your child talk to you about their reading, and how they manage when they come to a tricky part.  Do they try to see the "movie" in their head?  Do they ask questions and try to find the answers?  Take information with the text and try to make a good guess / inference? Think about what else they know about the topic?

SS - Projects are due on Dec 19th.  We'll continue to have class time to work, please make sure your student has whatever they need to make their project.

Science - Electricity use logs due Tuesday.  We'll be talking about what we could do to use less energy in our daily lives.
