This week, we will be delving further into our exciting adventures.
In Language Arts, we will be continuing to read our literature book, Little House in the Big Woods. The students are starting to get a feel for what life was like for Laura and her family.Science has been exciting as we continue our study of insects. The students have learned about classification of insects, external and internal anatomy, and a few of an insect’s senses. We will continue to look at the senses this week. Be sure to ask your child about our newest “guests” in the classroom. Everyone is very excited about them.
In History, we are learning about the War of 1812 and some of its causes. We will continue to look at the war and its effects. We will also study the National Anthem and Old Ironsides.SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:
