Happy Sunday, Students!
This week, there will be no new spelling list. We are going to spend the week zooming through the last part of our unit on the conquistadores and explorers of New Spain (see map above for their holdings.) We will follow that with a very short unit on the French Explorers, and try and get to the British colonies by the beginning of February, next week.
There will also be no literature unit or novel to read yet. You still need to be reading on your own each night at home at least 30 minutes. Your Reading Log will be due on Friday (and last week's is due tomorrow.)
There will be some reading homework on Thursday night, and over next weekend from your History textbook. You will have "notes" to take as you read.
Tomorrow, you will have a spelling test over last week's words, and the Mayan feast at lunch time! The menu includes real recipes from the Maya, Aztec, and Inca cultures! I think you'll like it!
