We are beginning a new social studies unit this week about government. Our focus this week will be to learn about laws and rules and why they are important for us to have. There are some fun stories in our reading book that relate very well to this topic that we can read as we continue to practice our reading strategies. Ask your child what "silly" laws they have learned about this week.
Math-
We are continuing to learn about shapes and their attributes in Topic 11. There is a lot of vocabulary with this topic so it is important for your child to be able to identify all the different shapes and attributes. This week students will learn names of a variety of polygons, different types of triangles, as well as, characteristics of different quadrilaterals.
Spelling-
Because students will have so many names to learn for our math unit, we have used these words to create our spelling list. The test will be Friday, Feb. 28.
Writing-
Students will be introduced to a new writing assignment this week. They will be publishing their own books and will actually get to order a copy of it. We will begin prewriting their auto-biographies this week.
Have a wonderful week!
