Weekly Update 1/20

I hope y’all had an enjoyable long weekend and remember to take a day on Monday instead of a day off.  Just a few reminders, book orders are due this Friday!  Please be sure to turn them in or fill them out online.  Also, Olympia Junior Program permission slips need to be return ASAP!   Pennies for Pasta is still going on, please remember to bring in those boxes filled with loose change!

Math
I am extremely pleased with how well everyone did on the Post Test for Unit 4, especially considering we had winter break right in the middle of it!

This week we move onto Geometry & Measurement.  Your child will identify, draw, compare, analyze and classify angles.  They will study angles in isolation as well as those in two-dimensional figures.  They will use two very basic benchmarks – the 90° right angle and the 180° straight angle – to determine the measure of the interior angles in each of the pattern blocks.  

Social Studies
We are skipping chapter 7 on government, but will return to it later.  We will be finishing up Social Studies by discussing working in Washington.  This week we will focus on the elements of the economy.

Other Notes
Again, just a reminder that book orders are due Friday, January 23 and to return the OJP permission forms as soon as your are able.  Even if you can’t pay, please turn in the signed envelope so your child can still attend.  If you need another one, please let me know and I’ll be happy to send one home.

Excelsior!
