Literacy
Please make sure you stay in at lunch recess tomorrow to finish typing writing assignments (show don't tell emotion, quadrilateral robot paragraph, power point).
Next week we will have a literacy test on the stories we read from "What a Story!". You will be tested on the following reading strategies:

• Main ideas / author's message
• Asking green questions
• Summarizing
• Making connections
• Characteristics of a narrative
• APE responses
• Before reading strategies

Throughout the month, we will periodically be having reading tests. You will be asked to answer multiple choice, short answer and APE questions after reading a short passage.

Math
Today we talked about congruent and similar shapes.

Similar polygons have the same shape and angle measure, but are different sizes.


Coordinates were a little hard for some of you. Tomorrow we will try making quadrilaterals on our geoboards using coordinates. REMEMBER the horizontal or x-axis number goes first.... across first then up. Please practice using the following game (beginning, easy or medium).
