Juicy facts are not facts like when a person is born, but facts about what made them remarkable and their life stand out from the crowd.
*English. We will continue our study of narrative writing.

* Science: We will continue our study of space.
*Social Studies:We will continue to learn about early Chicago and we will focus on the historic Chicago Fire and how Chicago rebuilt after the fire.
*Math: We will wrap up our ch. 11 on measurement. The ch. 11 test is scheduled for Tues. 3/20. Please look in your child's binder for flashcards and a foldable about concepts covered in ch. 11 that you can begin reviewing. A study guide and practice test will be sent home next week We will also focus on 8's multiplication and division this week. The timed test will be taken for a grade on Fri. 3/14.
