Greetings cool cat parents! It's hard to believe that we are nearing the end of the October. The scholars have been preparing for their first check point assessment. They will be testing on Tuesday October 27,th. The scholars will also be working on main idea and comparing and contrasting. We will continue our study in Westward Expansion. The first novel for the module is ,"Thunder Rolling in the Mountains". It addresses westward expansion of the European settlers and the Native Americans that occupied the land. I have added new academic vocabulary to our list for this week. Please feel free to discuss the new words with your scholar . We are looking forward to developing strong positive relationships with each student as well as our families. Thank you parents for all that you will do to help your scholar achieve their academic goals.
