This week we will emphasize comparing the past and the present (tested), review comparing the effects of geography on lifestyles (tested) and some of the concepts learned in Science in order to be able to pass a test next week in Science and Social Science. Students should be bringing home their notes from class in order to study (discuss) with you for their test. They should be able to name several differences in lifestyle between people that live in a warm climate from those that live in the cold. They should also be able to mention some differences between living in the past and the present. We will discuss differences in shopping (in the past- fewer stores with a wider variety of items and services), transportation (in the past- slower animal-powered vehicles on dirt roads), school (in the past- one-room school buildings for all ages without computers), and clothing (in the past- long-sleeved dresses and shirts with high collars and bows or ties, stockings or high socks and boots).
We will be spelling with 's' and 'r' consonant blends this week (step, spend, grab, trap).
Reading logs are due on Thursday.
