Mighty Falcons, 

         Welcome to the 2nd week of the 5th six weeks. I have seen academic growth in each one of you, remember to always do your best in all you do and ask us for help when need be. 

This week we will begin to:

•  model and apply the formulas for area of rectangles, parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids, and for volume of rectangular prisms;
• develop a formula for the area of a regular polygon;
• determine areas of irregular shapes and special quadrilaterals by decomposing and rearranging them into rectangles;
• generate conversions for length and area;
• solve problems involving the volume of rectangular prisms and area of triangles and quadrilaterals—where dimensions are positive rational numbers—by writing and solving equations.

Reminders:

Picture Day is on Tuesday, March 6, 2018. Dress your best!
OPEN HOUSE ON WEDNESDAY FROM 3:45 TO 5:30PM

Do Good!

Be kind!

Be YOU!

Week of February 26-March 2, 2018

Mighty Falcons,

Welcome to the first week of the 5th six weeks!

       As we begin the new six weeks remember we must work extra hard because STAAR is around the corner and there are many goals to conquer.

        We will begin to work with angle relationships found among the interior angles of triangles. We will also investigate conditions required to form a triangle, including whether or not a given set of three side lengths that may determine a triangle or not. Finally we will investigate the relationship between the side lengths of a triangle and the related angle measures.

February 12-16, 2018

Mighty Falcons,


         Welcome to the sixth week of the fourth six weeks! This week we will begin working with multiplying and dividing integers with like and unlike signs. I do not want to rush these integer operations lessons for they are your foundation for many future math lessons. Once you apply the "why" and "how" they work, you will become fluent in the topic.  We will also begin working with triangle relationships on Wednesday; please make sure you come to school everyday so that you do not miss out.

Watch the video to get ahead of the lesson! Come prepared to answer questions in class regarding the video.

Reminders:

2nd payment for end of year trip due on Monday, February 12.

Attendance Counts!

Do Good!
