project. The project was about graphing, and we graphed a picture of New York City. We also did a smaller project involving dimensions, and created a house out of that. After that later in the first marking period, we learned about different shapes and the formulas about them to find the area, we also did it with three dimensional figures. This marking period we are going to various geometric skills we learned this year to create and design a blueprint of a dream house. Skills included will be scale factor, proportion, area of composite shapes, and angles of polygons. We will also get into statistics and probability, for statistics we will explore different sports to analyze percentages. ,During probability we will look at various games, and explore experimental probability in different labs. We use our textbooks daily to learn new mathematical skills. We have already learned so much and I am excited to know what will come next in this math class. Social Studies Though the year has only just begun, we have already learned a wide variety of information about American History. We started off by learning about the first homo-sapiens to inhabit North and South America, who years later became our modern day Native Americans. As the year progressed we learned plenty about the lives of colonists from Europe and the race to gain as much land from the new world. In Social Studies we did many projects including an advertisement as well as creating our own colonial flags. Currently, we are working on a skit project in which we are going to highlight the most important events in the colonists history. These projects feature the three main regions of the United States of America, which include New England, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies. In lessons to come we are going to learn about the precise details of the
