Topics |

Language Arts We
are currently reading Breaking Through by Francisco Jimenez
and completing related discussion questions and writing activities.
Students will continue to conduct research and revise their rough
draft for their final research paper on a topic of their choice. We
will delve into the exploration of various forms of figurative language
in others’ writing, and incorporate it into our own writing
as well. We will finish the year with a newspaper unit!

Social Studies This month, we will finish up the American History curriculum, studying chapters 15-17: “Reform and a New American Culture,” “Slavery Divides the Nation,” and “The Civil War.” |

We will learn how to use Dreamweaver to update these lovely classroom and sports & activities webpages on the school website for next year! |
