Writing and Grammar- We will continue reading the Story of the Word to practice summarizing.  We will also learn about adverbs and diagram sentences with adverbs!

History- We will be starting our exciting unit on our neighbor to the north, Canada, next week! We will be learning about the difference and similarities between Canada and America, as well as learning about the native peoples of Canada.

Science- For science we will be continuing our exciting unit on animal classification.  The students are really excited about this unit!  After our quiz on Monday we will be looking into amphibians, mammals, and birds.

As always, please reach out with questions or concerns!
