Reading, Writing, and Social Studies
In writing, students will be working on their "Black History Project". We will be writing a biography and researching in class. The majority of this project will be done in class. Only the art portion and timeline portion may be done at home. Students will have a rubric to follow and guidelines set. We will begin this project this week and it will carry throughout the month of February.
In social studies, we will be learning about Westward Expansion.
