grammar, we are learning about main verbs and helping verbs.
Reading–Mrs. Arnold
Students will be reading “Jane Goodall’s Ten Ways to Save Wildlife”

to help. The skills lesson for this selection is learning about fact and
opinion. Students will also be reviewing previously learned skills. The

Tuesday.
Social Studies – Mrs. Arnold
Students read Chapter 3 this week and completed activities in class
to help them learn and organize basic information about explorers. Next week
we will begin reading a book called Around the World in 100 Years which
provides the students with more detailed information about these men and
their areas of exploration. They will have a daily activity to complete for
each chapter we read. On Thursday, students will have a quiz over all of
the states in the northeastern region. They have a map to practice this.

The students are learning how all ecosystems change naturally with
