January 26-30, 2009

Hi, Students! I trust you had a good weekend. I will be out on Monday and Friday of this week. I will be in class on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and we'll busy! There will be no homework this week. The CRCT will be rapidly approaching us, and we'll need to do our best to be prepared! This week, in Georgia Studies, we'll begin looking at Abraham Lincoln, and the Civil War events and happenings. It should be interesting! Additionally, in English Language Arts we'll be reading from our Literature textbooks and working on our reading comprehension skills. You'll be responsible for the CRCT practice warm up at the beginning of each class daily. Let's have a fun week of learning!
Ms. Holden
