Social Studies:  We will begin Chapter 2 which focuses on the first people to arrive here in Michigan. 

Writing: We will continue to work on our Personal Narratives by creating a catchy lead and beginning our introductory paragraph. 

*As always, please continue to check out our classroom resources on itslearning. Students can go there often to practice skills and learn about content that we are covering in class.

All teachers welcome questions that you have. A true partnership between home and school is important for the success of each child.
