CCS Fourth/Fifth Grade: LITERATURE & HISTORY April 15-19

Good Morning, Students!

This week, we will be finishing our study of the 13 Colonies, and you will be studying for a test over the Colonies on Monday, April 29. I know that seems a long way off, but next week, we will only have class on Monday. Tuesday-Thursday, April 23-25, you will be taking the Stanford Achievement Test. On Friday, April 26, you will be in Waco at the Dr. Pepper Museum. So, you'll get your study guide way ahead of time to prepare for this major test!

We will finish reading The Light in the Forest this week, and you'll finally have your answer--does True Son ever get to go back to live with the Lenni Lenape?

You will have a reading log due on Friday, and a quiz over the last 5 chapters of the book on Thursday. You have a spelling test tomorrow, and one more on Monday, April 22. To prepare for this spelling test, you will actually have spelling homework that will be due on Thursday.

Whew! School will be out before we know it!

Have a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and I'll see you tomorrow. Connect below to the posted handouts for the week--and you'll also get them in class tomorrow.
