Today we started a wonderful on-line reading program called Lexia. We have a one month trial membership. You are responsible for working on it every night. It teaches you at your own reading level and teaches every skill to mastery.

Math
Both grades completed a short Geometry assessment. Many students in grade 4 still do not know the names and properties of the quadrilaterals and the names and properties of the different triangles and grade 5. Please review and study.
Continue sorting your quadrilaterals using the property cards, grade 4. You will have another assessment on Thursday.
A few grade fives need to practice constructing triangles.
What is the sum of all the angles in a triangle?
Tangrams
Today we had some fun with tangrams. Watch the video again. Can you construct the different objects / people in the video?
