What we are learning

Math - Our geometry unit has begun and it’s groovy, ya dig? Last year, the kiddos learned the attributes of 2D shapes from triangles (3 sides, 3 angles, 3 vertices) all the way to dodecagons (12 sides, 12 angles, 12 vertices). Geometry is an interesting “math” unit because, well, there’s not a lot of math. On the contrary, there are lots and LOTS of vocab words: side, angle, vertex/vertices, parallel lines, polygons, right angles, 12 different shape names to review…take some deep breaths, parents, and be prepared to be amazed with your child and the amount of geometry knowledge that is about to go down. Right on, right angle!

Science - Let’s shake, rattle and roll!  We have started our 2nd part of our Earth’s Surface Unit!  We are looking at Rapid Changes in these upcoming weeks and will start with exploring volcanoes and earthquakes.

ELAR - 

This next week in reading we will finish a novel that we have been reading for a few months! It is such a fun read. We hope you have heard some about our Robot, Roz. We will be working through the narrative elements of plot and theme as we wrap up the story.

We’re sorry, not sorry, if your kids are coming home trying to persuade you to do things. We have been learning about the elements of persuasive writing including the issue at hand, the target audience, and delivery mode.

Social Studies - Next week we will wrap up our map unit before heading into an entire new unit on Economics!
