This (short) Week

No spelling list this week; several students have asked that I provide a challenge list EVERY week, so hopefully I'll be able to meet that demand in the coming weeks!

We are studying "how-to" writing in class. Students are creating short pieces of writing that teach how to make a certain food, create a particular craft, or perform a sport action.

The Story of the Week is about a famous Arctic Disaster. We'll be watching an I-Max movie in class about exploration and discovery.

We have a symphony field trip Thursday. About eight students have not turned in permission and $$$ -- please check on that.

For math, we're getting into geometry. Some words to know:
parallel
perpendicular
right angle
obtuse angle
acute angle
intersecting lines
line
line segment
point
ray
