Thursday

FYI:
CATS breakfast letters went home yesterday! Please send in if you are available to help! :)

*We did not have Reading today due to Mrs. Maldonado's class testing in MAP.

Today we worked on our review science projects and will be presenting them tomorrow! They look really good! :)  The kids have done a wonderful job working in pairs.

We also got to use our extra time together to get a little more geometry in.  We learned about similar and congruent figures.  Ask your child about them tonight! They also brought home some shapes to teach you with! :)

Math: Today we finished our coordinate grids lesson.  Students did a great job on the exit slip.  We then started learning about variable in number sentences.  The kids were loving this today, actually! :)  They enjoyed making up different symbols to mean numbers.
HW: 5 problems (with an example as one) on variables in number sentences, due tomorrow, Mon.-Fri. Packet due tomorrow

Writing:  We began brainstorming for our opinion piece.  The students thought it was weird to write a piece without researching information! ha! We hope to begin writing them on Monday.

Have a good night,
