 Math:  This week we are beginning a unit on geometry.  We will learn about lines and line segments and how to name and draw line segments.  We will also learn about parallel lines.  Later in the week we will study polygons (a closed 2-dimensional figure having three or more angles and straight sides-triangle, hexagon, octagon, etc.).  Please take time each night to go over your child’s home link as this is the best way for you to know what we are studying in class.
Report Cards:  These will be sent home on Friday. 
Have a great week!
