Math News
We began our new unit this week--Geometry. This unit will involve learning the difference between points, lines, line segments, rays, and angles. They will need to know the difference between an obtuse, acute, and right angle. It will also involve learning how to measure an angle with a protractor. We have plenty of protractors here at school and I will send a paper copy home next week. We should finish this unit up by the end of next week and test on it the following Tuesday, January 30th.
There will be a homework packet sent home next week. Students will also need to make sure they are completing at least 5 topics each week in ALEKS. They should be able to master a topic in 10-15 minutes. If they are working longer on a topic, they need to ask for help so they can master that topic. Please have your child practice their multiplication facts. There are many games on www.multiplication.com that they would love to play that will help them.
Science News
We finished our astronomy unit! Tests were given today online and students were able to immediately see their score. This test was worth 200 points. I am very pleased with scores for most students.
We will begin the next unit on plants and animals next week. This is always a fun unit! As it gets a little warmer, we will be hatching chickens. If you or someone you know has chickens that have fertilized eggs, please let me know. We will need at least 2 dozen eggs at that time. Whoever we get them from can have any chicks hatched as well. ; )
