The words on the yellow sheet, completed as part of the spelling unit are important vocabulary words for the unit. We will revisit Government for a short time, as we review the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Students already studied this once in the fall during the election. I hope much of what we read will sound familiar to them. We will be using a resource book called We The People , in addition to our History Alive textbook.
Westward expansion follows our government unit.
Before Spring Break students will be completing a poetry unit. They have surprised me with their enthusiasm and expertise during the unit. When we return from the break, I'd like to give each student a chance to write a free choice story. I'm hoping students will use much of what we've learned about writing style, composition, and voice. Your child's weekly folder contains a booklet from the State of Virginia, regarding the SOL tests.
