Students finished up Refugee this week and wrapped up the unit by showing their thinking through a long write. Long writes display original thinking with text evidence. Next up, realistic fiction writing!

Our Geography unit is rolling along. This week we started with some key geography terms, a study of different map projections, and are starting to get into human settlement on earth. Ask your child about their fish. :)
Next week, we will begin to dive into what a civilization is and start to look at specific civilizations and how their particular geographic situation affected them.
