Here is what we are working on this week:

Math – We will be finishing chapter 12 on two-dimensional shapes.  This included polygons and types of quadrilaterals (trapezoid, square, rectangle rhombus).  It also included intersecting and parallel lines, right angles, greater than right angles, less than right angles (the terminology we begin with in third grade), and combining what we know about shapes, fractions and area.
There will be a test on Wednesday this week.
