Week 24

Dear families,

I hope you all enjoyed the three day weekend. Monday is the President's day holiday. Only the teachers will be at school. Maybe you can read a story or enjoy the outside with a little bit warmer weather.

This week we will focus on the following:

1. Be able to explain the similarities between finding the perimeter of a rectangle and finding the area of a rectangle by creating a graphic organizer to compare and contrast
2. Find missing sides when given the perimeter of an irregular polygon 
3. Solving multistep word problems involving perimeter or area of a rectangle
4. Decompose figures into non-overlapping rectangles to find the area
5. Review finding the composite area by combining the areas of two non-overlapping rectangles
6. Identify the opportunities in the real world when one would need to determine the perimeter or area: building a fence around a garden, laying grass on an area, laying tile on a floor, etc.
7. Take CFA #9 on Thursday
8. Explore the Solar System: the Sun

Have a great week!
