What we will be learning this week:
Math: This week in math we will learn to be able to solve word problems involving decimal numbers, learn to be able to complete symmetrical shapes and patterns with respect to a line of symmetry, learn to be able to recognize and compare obtuse and acute angles, and learn to be able to recognize different types of triangles.
Literacy: This week in Literacy we will learn how to edit and revise our explanation texts from last week using a questioning strategy. We will also learn how to spell high frequency words in class. These words will not be part of the spelling test.
IPC: This week in IPC we will learn how to price our products based on the expense of the materials needed to make the products for our IPC Exit Point Market. We will also learn about setting up storefronts and design our own.
Spelling: This week in spelling we will continue to learn which words are spelt with 'ie' and which words are spelt with 'ei'. This week's words will be self-selected by students in class on Monday based on last week's test. These are posted on spellingcity.com as last week's list.

Here is the Love
Chingu, what’s the same in the world?
Listen up to what we’ve heard.
Everyone should live internationally,
Brothers and sisters in a global family.
Overseas, Yeah, we try to problem solve,
treat the earth as one big whole,
At ISK we celebrate,
We try to love and not to hate.
So if you have love for everyone,
You stop destroying the progress we’ve made,
And to progress only generates peace,
How you gonna show your family that you care? Yeah
Kindness is what you demonstrate,
And that’s exactly how morality operates.
Man, you gotta love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, Y’all, y’all
People living, people loving,
Happy kids, and you hear them laughing
Can you practice what you preach?
Can you learn as well as teach?
Children, children, children help us,
Send some guidance from your hearts,
‘Cause people got me, got me singin’
Here is the love (love)
Here is the love (love)
Here is the love (love)
Here is the love, the love, the love
It just a'int the same, old ways have changed,
But we can learn, make changes in the brain,
When love and peace are so strong
As adaptable beings we belong
Nations gathering
Knowledge filling the brains of little ones
With ongoin’ talkin’ as the youth live on
So ask yourself where am I travelin’?
So I could ask myself where I really want to go
In this world that we’re livin’ in, people keep on joinin’ in
Makin’ good decisions, with clarity of vision,
Now respectin’ each other, deny no other,
A change is going on for reasons not undercover.
No truth is kept secret, not swept under the rug
If you never know the truth then you never know love
Here’s the love, y’all, come on (Here’s the love)
Here’s the love, y’all, come on (Here’s the love)
Here’s the love, y’all
People living, people loving,
Happy kids, and you hear them laughing
Can you practice what you preach?
Can you learn as well as teach?
Children, children, children help us,
Send some guidance from your hearts,
‘Cause people got me, got me singin’
