Blog Survey

I will be sending home a blog usage survey if you follow our blog PLEASE be sure to complete it and return it to school promptly! Your participation is greatly appreciated! Miss Noble

Happy New Year

I hope everyone had a happy holiday season filled with good times! Here is a look at some up coming topics and information. Miss Noble :)
Social Studies
We have completed our first unit. We are now focusing on the 13 colonies and the 3 colonial regions. We will learn about the differences and similarities, geography, climate, and politics of the colonies.

The students will watch videos, read from text books, interact on the computer, complete
some hands on projects during this unit. We will even learn a few songs :).

Science

We began our unit on Body Systems before break. It is a lengthy unit and therefore it will not be completed before the end of the semester. We have learned about the Skeletal, Muscular, Circulatory, & Respiratory systems. We will be learning about the Digestive, Nervous, and Excretory systems over the next few weeks. The test for this unit is quite extensive. We will spend a better part of a week reviewing. Please plan on studying at home!

The Science grade for the second marking period will be based on our Force and Motion unit.
