Six Flags Read To Succeed
Your learner should have come home with a letter and reading log for the Six Flags Read To Succeed program. If your child reads 6 hours (360 minutes) and logs their reading (with a parent signature), they will earn a free ticket to Six Flags. This reading log is due back by February 19th to earn the Six Flags ticket.

What are we learning?

Math


In math we will be continuing our Perimeter and Area unit. The learners know that perimeter is the space around a shape, and area is the space inside of a shape. This week we will review finding the perimeter of a polygon with missing sides, and focus on finding the area of composite figures. Learners know that composite figures are figures made up of 2 or more shapes. We will practice partitioning (decomposing or taking apart) these shapes to find the area. We will continue working through our Middle of the Year benchmark assessments. 


Language Arts



In Language Arts this week we will continue our unit on Character analysis. We will also continue our Middle of Year assessments. We will be reviewing previous spelling patterns and new patterns will pick up once assessments are finished.  We will also be reviewing non fiction text features in book clubs. 


Science


In Science learners will be able to understand that a solar system is a system of objects, such as planets and moons, in orbit around a star, such as our Sun.  They will also be exploring the planets in our solar system and their position in relation to the sun.


Social Studies


In Social Studies learners will continue to explore Maps and globes and how they contain map elements that assist in interpreting and creating maps.  They will also begin to explore the 4 elements of the physical environment that humans must adapt to Climate, Landforms, Natural Hazards, and Natural Resources.  They will explore these while researching various states/regions.
