Social Studies - The Revolution Begins!  Our focus will be on the battles at Lexington and Concord.  The children will be completing a "puzzle" project representing 3 dates from this important time in history.

Spelling - We will take the pretest on Monday.  This is a review week.  Students who have perfect pretests will become challenge spellers.  Each child received a new set of challenge activity options.  They should choose only from that list.

English - Our unit on verbs will continue.  The children are doing a wonderful job with their contract work.
