They got these words after their test on Friday. You can find extra copies of the spelling lists on the Documents page of the Blog.

You might also hear us refer to it as input-output tables or function machines. Social Studies: This week we will start learning about the Midwest Region of the United States. We will get through all 5 regions by the end of the school year. Students are expected to have the states, location, and capitals memorized. They will make flash cards at school to bring home to study. This is a great time to talk with them about the Regions and the uniqueness of each state! While they are learning about each region, we will discuss the land, water, climate, natural resources, and culture of the Regions. The test over the states, location and capitals of the Midwest will be on Tuesday, October 1st. This week we will start our second region. Each class will be learning about a different region.
