Energy Dilemma

Energy Dilemma is the project we will be working on for the next two weeks. Students will be researching alternative energy sources and how they could apply to Georgia. This is an in school project; however, if students want to research at home, they can use these links or others that they may find.

Energy Kids Page is where we will start this project.  

Math Unit 7 Solid Figures

 Parents / Guardians

 

We will begin Unit 7 this Friday.  As I mentioned in the Fall, students will be using small solid figures to explore volume and surface area of solid figures.  It would be helpful if your student could bring in a regular size shoe box with their name on the top of it this week.  Put inside any small solid figures you may have saved in the last few months.  Objects can be cones, cylinders, rectangular prisms, etc.  If they have nothing - don't worry, I will supply them with all they need.  I have attached the unit parent letter so you know what we are working on.
