Mrs. Cook - Language Arts & Social Studies
We are continuing to study Figurative Language. We will have a quiz Thursday.
Our Social Studies topic will be Slavery in the Colonies. This leads us into talking about tension in the colonies, declaring independence from Britain, and the Revolutionary War.
Scholastic Book Order: Your student may bring home Scholastic Orders from time to time. If you would like to purchase, the easiest way is by going online to: www.scholastic.com/bookclubs and using our class code: MCQ9Z
If online ordering doesn't suit you, you may choose to send a check (made payable to Scholastic). This helps us to earn FREE books for our classroom! :) I will submit the orders at the end of each month. Our next order will be submitted at the end of January.
