Week of Feb. 22-26

Friday, February 26:

Math: It's one thing to be able to identify names of shapes; it's another thing to be able to tell the attributes of that shape. You did a great job with the two IMN pages today in identifying characteristics of quadrilaterals. Keep studying those pages.

Science: We worked on a Eekoworld Webquest on different types of environments. I have added that website to my "website" tab. Go check it out!

Math:

"Acute, Right, Obtuse,

Acute, Right, Obtuse,

These are the three angles,

Acute, Right, Obtuse.

Acute is SMALL.

Obtuse is the WIDEST of them all."

Science: Our next unit of study is on ECOSYSTEMS. We learned that ecosystems are comprised of living things (plants, animals) and nonliving things (sunlight, oxygen, water, soil, rocks).

A population is a group of the same species living in the same place at the same time.

A community is a group of organisms living together and interacting.

Math: We have begun a unit on Geometry. We started with lines: parallel, intersecting, perpendicular.

"Parallel lines, parallel lines,

They run side to side.

If they're perpendicular lines,

A square corner they will provide."

Science: Keep studying every night to continue becoming better scientists!
