The spelling words this week, are the ones I put on the BLOG last week. It was a mess-up on my part. I apologize. The spelling list in your homework is the one you will be taking this week.

This week we will finish our quick unit on measurement and shapes and begin our Unit on Story Problems with comparisons. Remember to label all of your work. If we are measuring in centimeters, use the abbreviation (cm) for your label.

Social Studies:

We will begin our Unit on Native Americans. There are three groups of people we study. We will also start to weave our Native American mats. It is a lot of fun.
