• History- This week we are starting a new unit on the Earliest Americans. Scholars are completing a big question which answers an important part of the chapter using vocabulary and evidence from the text.                                 Earliest Americans Quiz Friday

Updates and Events:

• The Crocodile poem is due this Friday, September 27th, make sure your scholars are practicing daily so they are confident to recite on Friday. 
• Make sure students are reading QUALITY books for their reading log at home. They should be chapter books at your student's reading level.
