     This week in math students will begin learning about angles. For this unit students will learn about acute angles (less than 90 degrees), right angles (exactly 90 degrees), obtuse angles (between 90 and 180 degrees), and straight angles (180 degrees). We will also learn to use a protractor to measure and draw angles.

     In science this week, we will complete chapter 7 and begin chapter 8. The test on chapter 7 will be on Wednesday 3/2. In chapter 8 we will learn about ecosystems and the parts of a food chain. We will also continue our work with our bean plants.

Have a great week,
Aesha
