Language Arts- This week students students will start with making corrections
to their westward expansion narratives.  This can be done in class and, if need be,
worked on at home. We will then begin an in-class reading of the novel,
The Schwa Was Here, which we will modify into a child’s picture book or an adult
informational handbook. We will alternate days between the book and Industrial
Revolution topics.

Social Studies:  This week will will begin our final unit of the year!  The unit is on the
Industrial Revolution. We will start with an introduction and then move into the early
inventions that influenced the way we live today.  A reminder to any student who
was not around for the Westward Expansion test on the Friday before break.  
These students will need to be prepared to take the test on Tuesday.

A Wrinkle in Time are completed and turned in.  This week they will also be
starting their book project.

on energy.
