In social studies, we have covered some basics overviews of map skills. In addition, we have been taking a "tour" through the Texas regions. Next week, we will work more on social studies than science, in celebration and study of Freedom Week. Driving questions will include:
- What is the intent of the United States’ founding documents?
- How do Americans celebrate their freedoms?
- Why are the founding documents of the United States important?
In writing (for my homeroom), we are continuing to build stamina with journaling. Students are also reviewing the basics of building sentences. In the coming weeks students will work on drafting a personal narrative and taking it through the writing process.
