Math> TEST 10/31
We are currently working on material in Unit 3.
In this unit, students will examine properties of basic plane figures and the use of tools of geometry. They will explore the geometric properties of polygons, and side and angle relationships in regular tessellations. This unit will also review measuring and naming angles.
**We have reviewed addition, subtraction and multiplication so far. Please make sure your student has a reliable method for accurately solving these types of problems.

Social Studies- TEST 11/2
We will continue our study of Unit 2: Three Worlds Meet

**In this unit students study early American History with a focus on the period prior to 1585. Starting with the art of historical thinking, students review the questions historians ask in examining the past. After they reconsider the tools historians use (primary and secondary sources, artifacts), they explore their textbook as a type of secondary source. In doing so, students examine text structures, text features, and the role of informational text in learning about the past. This unit takes a separate examination of life in America, Africa, and Europe in order to set the stage for the convergence of these three worlds in America.

Writing– We will be writing personal narratives from pre-writing to publishing over the next two weeks.

Reading-
*Fiction-We will continue a genre study of historical fiction while we also continue to develop our Daily 5 routine.

*Non-fiction- We will begin working on the skill of identifying the central/main idea in a non-fiction piece.

Grammar – We will be doing a review of the different parts of speech.

Spelling – Please see Spelling City for the current spelling list and activities.

Write your answer to this riddle in your planner. I will be checking them on 10/31 at 8:40.
