We are starting "Squanto, Friend of Pilgrims" this week. We will be completing a mobile for this book. They will have three weeks to complete the mobile. It is due Oct 21. They will need to have the setting, characters, problem/conflict, the resolution/solution, and some of your favorite parts. These can be a combination of writing and drawing.
History:
We will be learning 12 key dates during the year. We will be leaning 3 dates a quarter. At the end of the quarter there will be a quiz. The quiz will be accumulative as the year progresses. The dates are listed in the campus binder under the science and history tab.

Memory:
Please spend time during your school day to work on our school wide scripture, quarter 1 poem, geography map & song, and key dates. Feel free to get creative and practice these in the car, at bedtime, or during meals.
