Reading - We will be finishing our COACH practice book this week.  The children will also use the Chromebooks to finish an extended response on mimetic buildings.  Ask them about Lucy and Sweet Willy.  

Science - The children will take a quiz on Chapter 15, lesson 1 on Monday.  Most of this lesson is a review from last year.  We will then spend the rest of the week learning about different sources of energy.

Social Studies - We will take the chapter 7 test on Wednesday.  To prepare for the test, review these items:

*Identify what group each person represented and what they wanted to accomplish by taking control of American land. Pedro Menendez de Aviles, Popé, Jacques Marquette, Robert La Salle, and Metacom.

*After Pontiac's Rebellion, how did King George, the Colonists, and the Native Americans react to new settlements on Native American land?

*The Pueblo and Colonists are in conflict about who should gain control of the land in the southwest.  Who do you agree with?  Explain.
