Week of March 21-25

Thank you to all parents who sent in pictures for our Photo Stories!  The kids are so excited about having the opportunity to create Photo Stories about their lives!  They will be working on this task during Technology this week.

This week we will be starting an Economics unit in place of writing.  I'm very excited about this unit because next week the children will have the opportunity to apply what they learned as they work in economic factories to manufacture, market, and sell goods to another class!  The kids enjoy this activity every year and it really makes economics come alive for them!

Upcoming Tests:
Social Studies Test over Chapters 18 & 19 - Monday, March 28

Guiding Questions:
Math:  What are the attributes of geometric solids?  How do we convert between measurements of capacity, weight, and volume?
Economics:  What is economics and how does it relate to our daily lives?
Social Studies:  What events led to the fighting of the Civil War?  What were some major events during the Civil War?
Word Study:  How do I learn the economic terms?
Reading:  What is cause and effect?  What is fact and opinion?
