This week: January 14th - January 18th

Native Americans
This week we begin our mini-unit on Native Americans. Students will take notes on a few slides (sideshow will be posted to the website for those of you that miss any part of it). After the slide notes, we will move into projects. Students will be placed in 8 groups (one group per geographical region of the United States and Canada), groups will research each their region and present their findings to the class. The class will be responsible for taking notes on each presentation and then completing a test.

Meanwhile, in the Language Arts world...
Monday brings you similes, cliches and clauses
Tuesday is the Spelling Test (spelling practice sheet due)
Wednesday is grammar day and SSR
Thursday you will get new spelling words
Friday is fun write, SSR and DOL.

Also, we have about 400 new book orders floating around (3 for January and 3 for February)...if you want to order from any of them, please turn them in with your money by January 23rd (next Wednesday), or order online using the link from my website!
Have a fabulous week!
