Book Binge
     On Monday, we'll have a Book Binge to celebrate earning 30 compliments from other Crestwood adults!  Students should bring up to ten books they'd like to donate, and we'll take turns choosing new books for each of us to take home.

Writer's Workshop
     We've been writing Informational Text in Writer's Workshop.  First, we spent time researching our topic using several sources.  We took notes and organized our information into several chapters. Then, we created Google Presentations and are currently drafting our chapter books using this program.

Reader's Workshop
     We spent some time close reading Where the Wild Geese Go.  Close reading involves reading a text multiple times for very specific purposes.  Students read the passage to harvest new words, to grasp the author's purpose, and to understand the text structure.  They practiced writing about their reading while paraphrasing and citing textual evidence.

Math
     In Math this week, we finished up our practice with factors and multiples.  We classified numbers as prime or composite and also worked with square roots and square numbers.  On Wednesday, we started exploring geometry and reviewed segments, lines, and angles.

Homework

• Spend 15 minutes working on Google presentation (finishing chapters 1 and 2, editing, revising, working with the layout, adjusting the font, size, and color).

Reminders

• Yellow Math due tom.

Writing About Geometry

A third grader mentioned that all perpendicular lines are intersecting lines.  Is the student correct?  How do you know?

yes he is correct! perpendicular lines cross and make 90 degree angles.  

Gabe

Another student asks for your help.  “I can’t keep all the angles straight! Which one is acute? Obtuse? Right? And what is a straight angle?”

The acute angle is with in 1 degrees- 89 degrees.

obtuse angle is with in 91 degrees-179 degrees.

A right angle is exactly 90 degrees and a straight angle is exactly 180 degrees.
