This past week we finished units of measurement, ending with the metric system. This week we begin geometry, starting with Unit 5: Geometric Shapes. We will be learning about lines, angles, vertices, and classification of shapes.
This week we are also going to introduce students to the third and final form of writing: opinion. Students will still be graded on a 3 grade basis and will need to be able to take information from the texts given, write and introduction and conclusion, as well as state their opinion. Most of these papers will be at least 2 paragraphs.
On Wednesday, we will be attending the BMX Bike show for the chocolate orders. We will be outside for a good hour, please be sure to send your child to school wearing sun screen. Students may also wear school appropriate hats.
Finally, thank you to those who have donated to our class basket for the PTA auction. It looks like we will have a great basket!
