February 16th - 19th

Hello Families,

A short week with short homework, and a note to remind parents to let me know in writing if you know your child has not done their homework. Three children did not do last week's social sciences questions (due last Thursday, with 4 nights to do it, as well as the weekend if need be), the number one reason being that they were, "too busy."

Math - one pager per night in our unit on decimals
ELA - a short text resuming what we have been studying in social sciences class. One piece of student work will be posted on the class blog.
Reading -A to Z book and homereading (self-chosen tradebook)
Social Sciences - begin to study for the unit test (next week).

Have a great week,
Kathy Napier

Read through pages 24 - 33 of the text in order to be able to list the major changes that take place in British territory during this time period.

In class we will review daily life of in New France in order to be able to compare
