In Literature and Grammar, we read from a varitey of genres and respond to the text in different formats. We are expanding our word knowledge by learning about word roots and writing journals, short answers, and essays along with creating presentations to enhance our writing technique.
In Social Studies, we will begin with a study of the early explorers and move forward in history through the Civil War. Through a variety of projects, readings, research and discussion, I hope to enhance students abilities to explore and encounter history.
