A Peek at the Week Ahead

                   The week looks to be fairly normal.  In social studies and language arts, we are integrating our study on causes of the American Revolution.  Students are making study guide books, reading different selections about the causes of the war, practicing skits, and learning poems.  There's a lot going on!  In math, we are working on fractions.  We will be writing persuasive articles in English, and reviewing adjectives as well.  For a fairly normal week, we will be very busy!

Monday                 PE

Finally a week of no snow!  Here's a look at next week!  Please make sure that folders are signed and returned every Tuesday.
