The Week Ahead

Interesting how this week seemed to go so much faster than the 4-day week did! Here's what's to come...

Math: Continuing with algebra, we are beginning equations. These can get challenging, so thank you for your support from home!
Reading: We will begin reading Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, and continue with our Charlotte Doyle read-aloud.
Writing: Although students will continue writing their stories, we will begin our first formal writing assignment.
Social Studies: The kids loved our culminating Early Humans simulation! This week we will take our final test, and begin studying Mesopotamia. Don't forget... Africa Map test on Tuesday!
Science: Continued study of Earth's Changing Crust.
