What is happening in RM 16?

Focus Skill: Cause and Effect/Review of previously learned skills
We will be finishing up our chapter books this week! I think we have all really enjoyed a little change in our normal routine! :) I will encourage them to resume to their read to self books once we have finished!
Writing:
We are incorporating Social Studies into writing! We are writing journal entries as if we were on the Corps of Discovery with Lewis and Clark!

States and Capitals Rap This is how we are learning and we are having a lot of fun with them! Ask your child to sing to you ;) They have mastered to Illinois.
The kids have placed two study sheets for states and capitals in the back of their HOOT Binders. (We will not be testing until March/April)
**In addition to the capitals, they need to know the location of each state.
We will expand our studies of regions from Missouri to the United States. We will focus on how land, climate and the economy compare and contrast across our country.
