February 25- March 1

Hi everyone,

This week in Language, our lessons will focus on Black History Month. One text we will closely discuss is the Story of Ruby Bridges.  All students should be working on completing Spelling list 19 activity pages for this Thursday.

In Math, we have started 2-D Geometry. In this chapter, students will explore and construct 2-D shapes. They will also be asked to describe and sort shapes based on attributes, such as number of side lengths, number of vertices and symmetry. New math vocabulary words: congruent, vertices, symmetry, polygon, quadrilateral, area, turn, flip, slide.

In Social Studies, the grade 3 students will learn about Pioneers in Canada. The Grade 2 students will finish their science unit on Simple Machines.

Important Reminders

- Read a text every night for 15 minutes. As you read, think about the narrative perspective, your opinion about certain events that take place in the story and the big idea/lesson of the text.
-Science quiz on Wednesday: A study guide was sent home last week
-2-minute math drill every Friday

Have a great week!
