Highlights and Quick Announcements
In English this week, we will be beginning our second unit on Ancient American Civilizations
This unit is similar in some respects to their history unit that is finishing this week, but it will instead focus on reading comprehension skills for informational texts as well as skills such as summarization and determining meanings of words using context clues.
Students received an activity book that contains their classwork for each chapter of this unit. These activity books are to be left at school since students should have ample classtime to complete these assignments. However, if a student needs to take their book home to finish classwork that is incomplete, they may do so but the book must be returned to school the following school day.
For History, students will be continuing our study of Ancient American Civilizations. We will finish this week and take our Unit 2 test on Thursday, 9/18.
Students should make sure their Big Questions are completed before the date of the test!
