Week 16 Newsletter

This week we started our nonfiction writing with Feature Articles! Over the next few weeks students will be researching a topic of interest, gather facts, and writing informational articles. This is always one of my favorite writing pieces of the year!

We are also finishing up our Unit 3 in social studies, where we have been learning about the struggle between Native Americans and European settlers for land and resources. We will have our Unit 3 Test on Wednesday, December 13th.

Next Friday, December 15th is our field trip to the Blackhawk Museum in Danville. Students will be able to see many artifacts from Native Americans and the Westward Expansion of the United States.
