Back in the Groove

Last week we were able to get back in the groove after many days off.  Even though we had a day off in the middle, we still stayed on track and kept on going through.  In math we wrapped up our Equivalent Expressions unit and everyone did amazing on their tests!  We will begin looking deeply into 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes and looking at not only what shapes they are (as a review) but angles and lines of symmetry and comparing and contrasting different shapes.  We will also look at real world examples of all of these 2-D and 3-D shapes.  In Science we are reviewing today for a test tomorrow (Tuesday) on the water uses and water cycle.  We will begin our next unit on Wednesday with Weather and Climate.  We will start with weather instruments and vocabulary terms.  In Language Arts, we just wrote fantastic papers comparing and contrasting two animals.  This week we will turn our focus into reading more and look at authors  and if they wrote in 1st person, 2nd person, and 3rd person perspective.  This will also help students begin writing assignments in 1st person or 3rd person.
