Monday, November 25th

Because of the short 2-day week, we will NOT have a spelling list, DOL sentences, reading story or Grammar lesson. We will be concentrating on math and Native Americans (Social Studies) this week! Math: Chapter Review on pp. 186 (9-26) Chapter 6 test tomorrow! Social Studies: Work on your Native American project. I have met today with each child and they have done some research on ideas for their project. Remember, project AND their presentation are due Monday, Dec. 9th! If they finish earlier, they can bring it in and go on and present.
