This Week's Newsletter

Math:
3M - We have been working on geometry with 2D and 3D shapes. We have learned how to measure an angle. We will be testing on our geometry unit next Wednesday.

3-O - We have been using a protractor to measure angles. We are learning different strategies to help us with long division. We will also have a test next Wednesday. Keep working on our study guide that is due on January 31st.

Literacy:
We have been practicing for Illinois Standard Achievement Test (ISATs). We have been working on reading extended response. We looked at examples and then critiqued the ones we wrote using the friendly rubric. We have also immersed ourselves reading different persuasive books. Next week we will try to write our own!

Science:
During science this week, we have been focusing on Bones and Muscles. Today we did an experiment using popsicle sticks to see what it would be like to not have any joints in our hands. We realized how difficult it would be if we did not have any joints in our bodies.

Computer Lab:
We have been visiting the Rocking the ISAT blog and practicing different activities. http://rockingtheisat.blogspot.com/
