Yeah! We made it through NRT testing! I am very glad to be back to a normal routine this week.
In Math we will wrap up fractions on a number line on Monday and move on to Polygons and 2D shapes on Tuesday. All students will receive a hole punched sheet with all the shapes that they will be required to know. 2-D shapes will be on the front and 3-D on the back. This sheet will be put into their green binder that they bring home everyday. We will be studying the 3 requirements a shape needs in order to be a polygon.
Polygons must be: 1. Flat, 2. closed, 3. and have straight sides.
All students will need to recognize circles, ovals, triangles, squares, rectangles, rhombuses, parallelograms, trapezoids, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons. We will be focusing on certain vocabulary such as sides, vertices, and parallel lines. At the latter end of the week we will focus on congruent shapes what what congruent means. If two shapes are congruent, it means that they are exactly the same size and same shape. Students will understand that congruent shapes can be flipped, turned, or upside down, yet they are still congruent. Next week we will merge into learning about 3-D shapes as well as take our PRACTICE STAAR Reading and Math tests Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
In Science this week, we will finish up our unit on weather. Monday will be the day we play some games to help us prepare for the Weather Test on Tuesday. The rest of the week the students will complete a cloud project and will be receiving a Science Project grade on it for the 3rd nine weeks.
This week we will have a library and counselor lesson on Wednesday. It will be a fun week of learning.
Love,
Ms. S
