In Math, we finished up our multiplication and division unit and we are now working on Geometry. Students are learning about polygons and 3D objects: pyramids, prisms and others (cone, sphere .cylinder). Students will describe these objects by determining how many faces, edges and vertices they have.   Please continue to review math facts in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.  We will be completing our Structures et Materiaux unit this week.  As a final project in this unit, students will build a structure with their group.  I'm looking forward to seeing my architects at work!  Next week, we will begin our final science unit on Plants and Soil. 

This week, we will begin a science unit on Structures and Materials. We will learn about structures, materials used in structures, the differents parts of building and who is involved in making structures. As a final project, we will create our own structure. In Language Arts, we continue to work on the 6 +1 Writing Traits to develop more independant writing. We are presently focusing on Word Choice to make our stories more interesting to the reader. We continue to do the Daily 5 activities everyday.  We also review our French sounds, oral structures and cursive writing on a daily basis.  We continue to work on our Multiplication and Division Unit.   Please continue to practice times tables with your child up to 5X5. Students can also practice by using the math websites that I posted on our class webpage.
