Hello!

Social Studies: Identify the major attributes of the four epochs we have been studying (worksheet.) We summarized a chapter of the social studies text America Will Be together as a class. The students then recorded the interactive summary in their yellow social studies notebooks. Students should use the summary to complete the worksheet.

Language Arts: Context clues worksheet. *For extra credit (a BAM buck), students may choose to identify the type of context clue (synonym, example, cause & effect, antonym, appositive, definitional, comma string, etc...) used in each sentence.

Learning how to use context clues in order to clarify unknown and/or difficult vocabulary is an essential skill students must master as they begin to read increasingly more difficult levels of text.

Reminder: Tomorrow is picture day!

Cheers,
Miss Klein
