We have been hard at work since Spring Break, and I am excited about all the learning that is happening! We have had some especially deep and challenging discussions in Social Studies as we've investigated how westward expansion affected Native Americans and African-Americans. This week is sure to bring lots of growth with it, as well.
Reading: We are developing our note-taking skills by reading chunks of non-fiction text about westward expansion, then deciding how best to organize the information.
Word Study: This week's words feature 3 common Latin roots.
Language: We're continuing to practice using pronouns correctly.
Writing: We're wrapping up our Super-Writer mini-series and will be creating comic strips next!
Social Studies: We are bringing our study of westward expansion to a close with a study of rising tensions between the North and South. Our test is just around the corner, followed by the dreaded Civil War!
As announced last week, our afternoon classes will aso be taking their MAP Test Tuesday afternoon. I am looking forward to seeing great results! Thank you for helping your child come to school prepared to do his or her best!
