This week:
Language Arts: We are finishing up some reading station work that covers multiple skills such as grammar, spelling of homophones, independent reading of non-fiction, social studies videos about Texas as a Republic, and Important documents in the Republic of Texas. I am pulling small groups to do novel studies. The kids seem to be getting into their books. :)
A lot of our time is spent just writing, revising, and editing. Our STAAR Writing test is April 9th!
Social Studies: We are learning about the presidents who served the Republic of Texas. There were 4 presidential terms. Do you know who served? Ask your kiddos to see what they remember. We are learning about the opportunities and hardships of facing the world as a new country. We will quickly move on to statehood.
