We read all about the dance at Grandpa's house this week. Scholars are enjoying Little House in the Big Woods. They get to experience first hand some of the smells described in our story. Ask your child to tell you about their experience smelling hickory, maple, and cloves! Students will copy another exemplary sentence from the text and summarize a passage about getting ready for the dance.

Scholars are learning all about the explanatory paragraph this week in preparation for soon writing one of their own. We discuss topics, support and nonsupporting sentences, and the three parts of an explanatory paragraph. Ask your child to tell you about each of the three parts!
HISTORY
We are continuing the unit on the War of 1812. We will learn about James and Dolley Madison, the burning of Washington, and Old Ironsides. We will also learn about the creation of our National Anthem.
SCIENCE
This week we will study for and take a test about the human body. Look for a study guide coming home on Tuesday.
Have a great week!
