This week in Math and Science/Social Studies:
Math: Lines, Angles, and Polygons Oh My! We are continuing our Geometry unit of study with some really fun hands on math manipulatives to help us remember all those vocabulary words and concepts! Keep practicing those math facts though, we don't want too get rusty!
Science: Moon tracking calendars went home last Friday. Each night in February students should sketch the phase of the moon and bring it to class each Friday for discussion. Follow the link for the calendar:

Stern's News!
READING: In Reading this week, we will continue to look at characters, their relationships and the changes they undergo. We will create a character trading card to review our favorite characters in the computer lab.
WRITING: We will be sharing our personal narratives and expository texts from the last two weeks and we will critique our own work based on the rubrics.
SPELLING: This week's spelling words come from Unit 20. Our spelling concept focuses on using consonant blends at the beginning of words, ie. cr, br, dr, fr, st, tr, scr, str, adn thr. They will note that when consonants are together their separate sounds are blended. Spelling words for the week will be recorded by students in the far right column of the week's agenda. Pace Language Arts students will have an extra 8 words per week. Any students wishing to include the pace words into their spelling test may do so.
