This week students worked on the final drafts of their expert reports. Most students finished in class, but some students took it home over the weekend to complete. Our goal is to have them done by Tuesday so that students can share them with their special guests. Some students printed out photos or clipart from home to add to their reports, while other students chose to add drawings to their cover and chapter pages.
This week we began Unit 6, Polygons, Perimeter, and Area. So far we have focused mostly on polygons. Students have been expected to draw and recognize attributes of triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons. They will also been identifying points, lines, line segments, rays, angles, and parallel and perpendicular lines.
Social Studies:
We finished our regional tour of the Midwest this week with our final stop in Minnesota at the Mall of America. Students then used all of the souvenirs they collected along the way to create scrapbook pages in their region binders. A study guide was sent home on Wednesday to help your child prepare for the test this Tuesday. We realize that is also Grandparent/Special Person Day, but our guests will only be here in the morning. The test will be given in the afternoon.
All-Star of the Week:
Alaina was our fabulous Room 13 All-Star this past week. She loved sharing special items from her sharing sack and giving details about the photos she brought in of her and her family members. She also did an awesome job reading aloud her favorite book, The Biggest Easter Basket Ever. The class loved the story! Her mom was able to join Alaina as her lunch buddy on Friday to end her special week.
