Math

The Flip Books were due on Monday. We began an introduction to Geometry and will be working on lines and angles (text 428-433) this week. Students will receive a note-taking packet and a practice packet that we will be working in for the next couple of weeks over geometry concepts.

Word Study

We continue to work on Core Words as well as build vocabulary with our study of word origins. Our next Word Origin test will cover aqua- hydra-,  mob- mot-, and cap- words. Students have notes on the fifteen words in their spiral notebooks. The test will be Thursday or Friday of this week.

i-TIME

Students will have another day or two to read sports books. They will be writing questions based on their reading. We will practice writing questions that are “right there” in the text as well as questions that they come up with “in my head.” Questioning is an important strategy to increase comprehension.
