In Science, we will continue our unit on Renewable and Non-renewable resources. 

In Reading and Language Arts, learners will begin a poetry unit, where we will explore different types of poetry as well as find the deeper meanings behind poems. We will also be writing our own poems. Moreover, we will study double consonants in the middle of words and start exploring simple sentences.

In Social Studies, we will be exploring the conflicts between Mexico and Texas that will lead to the Texas Revolution.
