Tuesday, January 8th

English
Spelling Lesson #16 - Test Friday
Read for 20 minutes
Designing a magazine cover and contents page (ongoing in class)

Math
We have just started a unit on 2D geometry.  Students will learn...
- to measure and construct angles up to 180 degrees
- to sort and classify quadrilaterals by symmetry, angles, and side lengths
- to sort and classify polygons by lines of symmetry and order of rotational symmetry
- to construct polygons given angle and side measurements

Homework: IXL Z.2, Z.3, Z.4, plus problems assigned in class, if unfinished

Science
Students have begun an inquiry project on a local issue affecting biodiversity (habitat loss, climate change, invasive species, for example).  They will spend a week learning about their topic, and then next week creating a way to present their learning.  They will also write a cumulative test on the unit after the project.

Here is an interesting page on how plastic pollution is impacting biodiversity
