Our math class was cancelled twice this week, once because of the NED assembly and the other because of our field trip; however, we continue to work on measuremnt and have spent some time this week learning how to calculate perimeter.
Our other large topic this week was on parts of speach and sentence structure. Students reviewed what nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs were and then learned what a prepositional phrase was. Each of these parts of speach was assigned a shape and students rearranged the shapes in many different ways to see how one sentence can have the same words, say the same thing, but sound very different.

Lastly, students have been constructing Glogs about the states of matter. Only about 1/3 of the students are finished; however, I will not be devoting any more class time to this project. Students can finish their Glogs from home by clicking on the "Your Web Tools" link from our classroom website. Remind your child to add a link to their Glog by clicking on the orange button.
