Weekly Update - April 6

Hello and welcome back!  I hope our students enjoyed their spring breaks.  We had a full week of learning.

Math
This week we spent time reviewing geometry concepts such as...

• parallel and perpendicular lines
• classifying triangles and quadrilaterals
• angle measurement

Please remember to spend 30 minutes weekly on the review packet for MAP.  All students who bring this back signed after 3 weeks will have no more math homework for the remainder of the school year!

Science
In our Electricity unit this week scientists focused on...

• parts of a circuit
• troubleshooting a circuit
• diagramming circuits

We will plan to assess our unit on Friday, April 13.

Reading
We wrapped up our Historical Fiction unit this week by...

• identifying the theme of a text
• using minor characters to strengthen our idea about theme

Please continue to read 30 minutes nightly!  Students who have not yet finished their book club books may bring them home to complete their 30 minutes!

Writing
In writing we continued to draft and revise our literary essays.  This week we focused on plans and drafting.  We began to revise our introductions.
