Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year and welcome back everyone!!  Winter Break is over and it is time to start a new year!  I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and that you got to spend lots of time with your family and friends.  We have a lot to look forward to in 2011.  These kiddos will be making a major transition from elementary school to middle school!  Therefore, we have lots of great stuff left to learn.  Here is what's coming up this week...

Upcoming Tests:
Tuesday:  Social Studies Chapter 10 (Tensions Leading the Revolutionary War)
Facts Quizzes (One of my New Year's resolutions is to give more of these ;o)

Guiding Questions
Math:  How do I complete the shopping spree and reflect on my learning?


Social Studies:  What have we learned about the tensions which led to the Revolutionary War?  Who were patriots and loyalists and how did the colonists declare independence?


Reading:  How do we effectively participate in our new literature circles?


Writing:  What is a feature article?


Word Study:  How do we separate words into syllables?
