Social Studies- We are learning about the Midwest Region of the United States.
Science-We will be continuing our Unit on Earth and Space. I have a few fun projects planned for this also.
A reminder, The March book report on a legend, myth, or fable is due Monday the 31st. This is only a 5 paragraph book report. No additional project. This can be NEATLY written or typed (preferred).There are only 2 more book reports due for the remainder of the year. I hope your children are having fun reading all the various genres of literature! I have sent home April's guidelines. The signed parent portion is due Monday. Report Cards for 3rd quarter also went home on Friday. Please sign and return the bottom portion by Monday.
I hope everyone has a great week!
