February Reading logs will be due on Tuesday, March 2.  The class has voted to have a Game Day for everyone who returns a completed reading log.  thanks for your help with this.  We don't want anyone to miss the fun!

Math
This week we'll continue our topic on Geometry.  We'll be relating plane shapes to solid figures, learning about polygons and angles, and determining equal/not equal parts of a whole shape.  

Science 
We'll finish answering the essential question, "What is Heat?"  A test will be midweek.  Look for review pages to come home on Monday or Tuesday.  Our next chapter is learning about Sound Energy.  We'll be doing an investigation this week and need empty toilet paper or paper towel rolls.  Please send in a few.  Thank you! 

Reading
This week we will read My Librarian is a Camel.  This text is a photo essay featuring countries with mobile libraries.  For many communities in remote places, this is the only way for them to access books.  

The students will begin working on a shared research project featuring a country in My Librarian is a Camel.  Students will develop a digital slide showing important facts as well as information about how people access books in their community.
