Happy Labor Day, Students!
This, week, our reading of King of the Wind and our study of the Five Themes of Geography continue to
intertwine.
Your reading assignments are below, and you will continue to be "tested" over your reading as you write summaries of your chapters each day in class.
Your spelling words this week are the names of the United States
from the two Regions of the New-England and Mid-Atlantic States. There are 11 states and 2 regions. You will need to be able to spell them correctly AND label them on a blank map of the USA. Your test will be Monday, September 12.
I hope to be able to take you to the Public Library on Thursday where you will be taught about the online catalog, the Library of Congress numbering system, and the different sections of the library. You will have a book to find using that numbering system--the book will be about the Island you are going to inherit! I will be sending home a permission slip for you to walk to the Library this Thursday, so don't forget to fill it out and bring it back!
Here are your assignments and spelling words:
