CLASS UPDATE
Welcome back! That was a restful 5-day break.
* In reading we are finishing up Sign of the Beaver this week. Our 10 Spelling Vocabulary words come from this book. At home students will be able to read any AR book and do their summaries.
* In Writing we will be starting an exciting Poetry Unit, which will culminate in a Poetry Recital Cafe the last week of school before the break.
* In Math we will finish up Chapter 13 and 14 (Multiplying and Dividing Decimals)
* In American History we are doing Museum Exhibits about one of the many original colonies. This will be mostly an in-class project, but the final drafts will be done at home, which are due on Tuesday, December 18th.

More to come!
