Religion - Both grades will be completing their Unit IV review, playing jeopardy, and taking the Unit IV test on Friday.


Social Studies - The 5th graders are researching and presenting about Colonial Times.  The 6th graders are wrapping up a chapter on ancient Asian history, and they will begin my favorite - ancient Greek history!


Language Arts - The students will be starting a unit on the parts of speech.  This week, we will start with nouns and adjectives.  We will also work on writing a persuasive piece of writing.  We are back to our Greek and Latin root words for spelling - this week's words come from "flex" meaning "to bend".
