We're Still Movin' and Groovin'

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Labor Day holiday!

This week in 4th grade ELA, we will be reading "Once Upon a Cool Motorcycle Dude" in our Journey's basal. We will be focusing on comparing and contrasting the text. The students will get a chance to become author's of their own fairytale as the work with their partner in narrative writing! I can't wait for them to share their stories with the class!

In 4th grade SS (US History) , we are learning about early explorers of the New World, beginning with Leif Eriksson!


This week in 3rd grade ELA, we will be reading "Max's Words" in our Journey's basal.  We will be focus on asking questions to help students comprehend the text they are reading!

In 3rd grade SS (SC History), we are learning about the Native Americans who lived in our great state of SC, beginning with the Cherokee!

MAP testing will soon be underway! The actual dates are forthcoming!

Please remember to check the school's website for weekly homework!
