Happy New Year to you all! I hope you had as much fun on your holiday as I did! But, I'm ready to get back to school and am looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
This week, we will continue studying the early British colonies, going a little more deeply into the Jamestown Colony. Your reading homework this week will be from A History of US, Volume 2.
Your spelling and vocabulary will come from both your history reading and from the novel we will begin in class (please see blog post for Literature.)
The Jamestown Colony almost didn't make it--I wonder how that would have changed OUR presence in this country?
Below are your reading assignments for the week. You will get a chart in class that you will fill out as you read, and you will also be expected to participate in daily discussions about the chapters. This book is fun to read, and I think you'll enjoy these chapters!
MONDAY Night's HOMEWORK (for Tuesday, January 4): Read Chapters 3 and 4, pages 21-28, in A History of US, Volume 2. Fill in your chart, and be ready to discuss.
TUESDAY Night's HOMEWORK (for Wednesday, January 5): Read Chapters 5 and 6, pages 29-33; keep chart; be ready to discuss.
WEDNESDAY Night's HOMEWORK (for Thursday, January 6): Read Chapters 7-9, pages 34-41; keep chart; be ready to discuss.
THURSDAY and FRIDAY Night's HOMEWORK (for Monday, January 10): Study for Monday's test over Jamestown. You will get a study guide on Thursday.
