Week of Apr 22

Welcome back!
This year Easter was amazing for me down in Merced CA - spending time with a growing family!
Also, Happy Earth Day!!!

ELA:  Argument Writing is still going on most days.  However, some days we are practicing "Annotating with Rigor" instead of argument research.  For argument writing, our topic is:  Should Students Have to Wear Uniforms?

Social Studies: We are now studying the ancient civilization of China.  We will be studying maps, researching the geography, reading and writing about "isolation", and studying the "silk road".

Thanks, Mr F
