Are you ready for a FULL week of school? We've been spoiled by spring break and two short weeks. Now, we have to get down to getting this year completed!
This week, you will be studying the rest of the 13 Colonies: the Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies. We will have a short unit on Slavery as it applied to agriculture and economics in these colonies.
You will need to be working on your Texas Legend PowerPoint at school and at home, if necessary. It is due this Friday. Friday is also Grandparent's Day, and after the concert, please invite your Grandparents up to the room to see your PowerPoint presentations of your Legends! I'm sure they'll enjoy your stories!
You have a spelling test this Monday, as well as a quiz over Chapters 4-6 from The Light in the Forest.
Your new spelling and vocabulary words for next week's test (Monday, April 15) are below. So are links to your weekly assignment chart and the few new papers I will be handing out this week.
I hope you have a blessed Sunday, and I'll see you tomorrow!
