Writing
In writing we will continue to work on writing a good
paragraph. They will also begin drafting an original
myth. Students will continue working on strategies
to improve their writing by editing their work for
proper capitalization, language use, punctuation, and
spelling. Words their Way will continue to be our
program for improving spelling and learning about
spelling patterns.

In Social Studies we will be examining movements
of change in U.S. history. We will also continue to

the eventual adoption of the United States
Constitution.

electricity. We will also continue to look at the
