This week, we will begin some new units of study. Over the next month, in mathematics we will be focusing on FRACTIONS. In social studies, we will be learning about life in the colonies and the beginnings of the United States. In language arts, we will begin the class novel "The Sign of the Beaver." Finally, we will move away from the dramatic arts and return our focus back to visual art and studying the masters.
