SOCIAL STUDIES

This week we are begining to study the "Land Down Under"- Australia. We will begin with the geography of this continent/country and move into a study of the people that live there.

SCIENCE

We are wrapping up our study of Chapter 13 - Weather. The students will bring home a study guide for the exam which we will take on Thursday. Our next lesson will take us into outer space.

Please remind your student that we will have a Weekly Warm Up quiz each week on Friday. As always, if your child is having difficulty with the topic we are covering that week, I will be happy to work with them individually.
