It's finally Friday, folks! Now, I know we only had a 3 day week, but shooooweeeeeee it sure seemed long! Did it to you? I hope next week feels much quicker. I know things always feel a bit slow when you're settling back into a routine.
MATH:
We began studying polygons today. We learned that polygons are closed figures made up of straight line segments and vertices where these line segments meet. A polygon is not a curved figure or an open figure. We also learned about some of the terms we'll be using throughout our geometric unit: attributes (characteristics of a shape); vertex/ vertices (the points at which the sides of a shape/ polygon meet); angles (the interior vertex); parallel (a set of two lines that will never intersect); and quadrilateral (a 4 sided polygon). Students got an introduction to the shapes: triangles, squares, rectangles, rhombuses, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons and their coinciding attributes (such as number of sides, number of vertices, number of angles).
HOMEWORK: Rewrite ALL missed (or blank) facts 5 times each. So yes, if you missed or left blank 20 problems on the timed test, then you will have a total of 100 multiplication problems written. Also, take a 3 min. timed test and have an adult sign the one from class.
READING:
Students had a review Friday and worked on several skills they've seen previously in the school year such as similes and metaphors and such. They practiced with completing short-answer responses (which they'll see on their end of the year KPREP [state] assessment in May).
HOMEWORK: none
PM Activities:
Students worked on review activities for multiplication and division as these are concepts that will be continuously reviewed throughout the remainder of this schoolyear.
Announcements:
Homework Packets were sent home today (and YES, we spelling words!)
Newsletters were also sent home!
NO SCHOOL (Jan. 21st. - MLK Jr. Day)
Have a wonderful weekend!
xoxo,
Mrs. Thomas
