Reading: We are continuing our unit on fantasy. This week will focus on using information to better understand our stories, use vocabulary strategies to figure out unfamiliar words, study how complex fantasy characters truly can be, and investigate symbolism. 

Social Studies: We are wrapping up our study on the Thirteen colonies with group project. Each group was asked to pick a colony and use technology to present  on the information they have learned. I love how creative my class is, they are on day two, and so many great ideas!
