Happy Thanksgiving!

I would like to wish all the fifth graders and their families a joyous and restful Thanksgiving.  There is only one mandatory assignment over the break.  It will be given to the students on Tuesday, November 22 and will be posted here soon.

For those students who are looking to get ahead for the start of their second trimester, I am offering an optional reading log for extra credit (handed out in class on 11/22), and the "next 10 states," which are posted below so everyone may begin practicing.  Be sure to practice with a map, which can be found on the Social Studies Tab above or click here.
