Hello Everyone.  This note is to update you on what is going on in 5th/6th Grade Social Studies.  As the new year starts we have started a new routine in Soc. Studies.  We are now going to be learning about Social Studies and working to improve our writing.  We will do Social Studies work for 3 days in a typical week and work on writing 2 days during a normal week. 

     Social Studies :

     In 5th Grade, we will be covering the American Colonies, The Revolutionary War, Slavery, and the Civil War.  In 6th Grade we will continue our study of Ancient Civilizations with the Chinese, Greek, Roman, and Middle Ages.

       Writing : 

       We will be working on writing Narratives (stories), Persuassive letters, poetry, and instructional writing as well.

  We had an interesting and fun time exploring the anatomy of a grass frog.  Some of us enjoyed it way more than we thought we would!
