January 20th-January 24th

I hope that everyone had a great week and are looking forward to a three-day weekend!

Here are the activities for next week.

*Language Arts: On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, we will be devoting Language Arts time to discussing/learning about Martin Luther King Jr.  In addition to watching the video, "Our Friend Martin", we will be having class led discussions about his achievement and the impact he had on our current society.  The remainder of the week will be spent finishing up our verb unit.  There will be a short quiz on Friday.
*Reading: Students will be finishing up their novels this week and working on a project on a character of their choice from the book.
*Math: Students will continue to work on their current math units.
*RtI Reading: We will continue to work on inferencing this week. Using stories such as Monopoly-Atlantic City and The Mystery of the Great Stones, students will use this skill to answer questions and complete additional activities.
*Social Studies (7/8th grade only): After finishing up Jamestown last week, we begin our unit on Native Americans this week.  We will begin with learning about Native American migration to America and discussing the Northeast Woodland Indian tribes.
