In Math, we are wrapping up our Personal Financial Literacy unit. We are looking forward to beginning our fractions unit, which will span 6 weeks.
In Science, we are continuing our Earth's surface unit. Next week we will begin an Argument-Driven Inquiry Exploration about erosion of rivers.
In Reading and Language Arts, learners will be writing an expository text over a special person in their lives. We will also be analyzing other story elements such as setting and plot and connecting our thoughts. Our spelling focus will be silent letters and our grammar focus will be irregular verbs.
In Social Studies, we will continue our unit on early Europeans and settlements in Texas. We will discuss the motivations and impact of Spanish and French explorers, as well as discuss Spanish Missions.
