Social Studies

I hope everyone had a great break.  We will be moving full steam ahead in social studies this semester as we roll towards Milestones in April.  We will be continuing in Unit 4 Asia Geography this week with a focus on Asia culture and religions.  This section of the unit will not be Blended Learning.  The religions we will be discussing are Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism, and the Philosophy of Confucianism.   Reading the sections and answering the questions at home that cover these faiths and philosophies in the Asia Coach book pp. 146-152 will be a great reinforcement of what we are doing in the classroom.  Thank you for your support!

Language Arts

Language Arts is beginning a unit, "A Universal Community of Acceptance."  This theme will begin with readings about the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII.  We will be using the strategy of reciprocal teaching, in which each student takes a turn leading his or her group in a structured reading.

Please remind your student that starters and other work must be made up they are absent.  My assignments are all available on Google Classroom.  If you are curious about what we are working on, ask to see your child's account.  
Remember:  students who succeed typically have the most involved parents and guardians.  I look forward to partnering with you to ensure each Panther's success!
