Math- We started a new unit today (Stretching & Shrinking). This unit is about understanding similarity; identify similar figures by comparing corresponding parts; construct similar polygons; use scale factors and ratios to describe relationships among the side lengths of similar figures; predict the way that stretching and shrinking a figure affect lengths, angle measures, perimeters and areas; draw shapes on coordinate grids and then use coordinate rules to stretch and shrink those shapes; use properties of similarity to calculate distances and heights that can't be directly measured.
Also, this week we went over the assessments for the Comparing and Scaling unit; Students did a good job on the assessments. I'll have grades up-dated in about two weeks before the end of the first semester.
In the Stretching & Shrinking uni,t there are a lot of Geometry concepts which will give students the opportunity to use their math flippers

and use models to describe the role of gravity, #3 Student will develop and use models to describe cyclic
patterns of lunar phases, & #4 Student will develop and use
models to describe cyclic patterns of
Earth’s seasons. Their test on these 3 goals is on
Tuesday, 17 December. The students are to finish their study guide as homework
if they did not finish it during class today, Friday 13 December. They have

Social Studies –
We have been working on Greek Myth Books
this week. Students began the week in
the library to choose a story to retell and illustrate. Students had every class period this week to
work on the project, but you should have seen some work come home. The project will be due December 13th
by the end of class but I will also accept them at the beginning of class on
Monday. What I’m seeing in class looks
very promising and I am very much looking forward to reading them. Next week, we will continue with Greece with
a specific focus on forms of government.
All missing work for Social Studies should be turned in by
December 16th.
After school help is available in my room every Tuesday until 4:00
