With last week being a bit crazy because of bad weather, we will be spending a lot of time this next week playing catch-up.  Many things planned last week will actually be covered this upcoming week including the spelling words.  Below are the words that will be used for our spelling test.

try         kind          hand         picture         again          fast           post          last          blast         cast          oral          data           record           science

Challenge:  magnify      contrast

Curriculum:  Beyond that, we will begin our Journey to Freedom unit during our Literacy Block.  This will allow us to learn a lot about Mr. Abraham Lincoln during the upcoming week of school.  Students will better understand the turmoil that our country went through during this period of our country’s history and in turn will more clearly see why President Lincoln is one of our most honored presidents.  During our social studies time we will continue our study of the seven continents by looking more closely at South America.  Science will allow us the opportunity to take a closer look at the water cycle and why we need to do everything possible to conserve our water supply.

Stay warm everyone and hopefully we will have a full week of school to accomplish all of these goals……and more!!!
