Week of Jan. 14th

Gym class this week - Day 7, Wednesday, Jan. 16 and
                                        Day 2, Friday, Jan. 18th

Pioneer Project - We have begun a new unit in Social Studies studying the pioneers who settled the West of the United States. Each student should now know the name of their pioneer and what their pioneer is most famous for. By the end of the week they will know a few more facts and should practice telling you about their pioneers each night. 

By the middle of this upcoming week, all students will be taking home a large sheet with an outline of themselves to begin the making of their pioneers. I have many supplies for the students to take home to use and have pictures of past pioneers for them to look at as well to aid them in making their pioneers. There are many pictures of these pioneers in books and on websites to use.

During Catholic Schools Week (the week of Jan. 27th), parents and families are invited into our classrooms to see our completed pioneer projects. We look forward to sharing our projects with you all!
