Weekly Update 2/2

Happy Groundhog’s Day!  Sadly Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning, meaning another six weeks of winter.  Course if the past couple months have been any indication, I’m perfectly okay with it.  We’ve past our halfway mark; it’s all downhill from this point!

Math
This week, we will be introduced to lines of symmetry and working to define and create examples of polygons with one or more lines of symmetry.  We will review different types of triangles, quadrilaterals, and other polygons as we create a set of polygon cards.  These cards will help your child solve a collection of riddles and polygon bingo.  We’ll round out the week by reviewing how we measure area. 

Social Studies
This week we will be wrapping up our discussions about Washington State and start transitioning into our Science units.

ReadingPlease see the reading tab for details.

There is a spelling test on Wednesday.

Other Notes
Please remember to turn in the Jumba Gram forms by Tuesday, February 10th, so your child can enjoy a smoothie on Friday, February 13th.  We’re also having a class party that afternoon, if you would like to donate treats, please let me know by Wednesday, February 11th.

On Thursday, February 5th, there is an orchestra concert.  


Excelsior!
