This week readers will embark on a new journey. We will meet Alex, in Tom Rogers’ book, Eleven. We know this book will spark lots of discussion! In writing, we will pen a new expository piece that explains a place we’d like to visit. Our word work continues to dive deeper into vocabulary meaning and how to words we don’t know.
Historians will continue to explore Texas history. We will examine the early 1800’s: from the Republic to Statehood in 1845. We will discover (and it will probably surprise them) that the road wasn’t always smooth, nor did all inhabitants want to become part of the United States. Mathematicians finished with geometry last Friday and many found a new favorite type of math through our work with angles. It’s been exciting to look at the world around us and notice lines and angles, then have the vocabulary to describe them mathematically! This week we’ll continue thinking about how numbers can help quantity the spaces around us as we review area and perimeter. We’ll develop formulas for calculating area and perimeter of squares and rectangles. We’ll also solve a series of puzzles that will help us think deeply about the similarities and differences between these two concepts. This week we kick off our school wide fundraiser, DanceFit. Be on the lookout for daily emails and updates!
