The students have really done well so far!!!

Writing: The students will continue practicing in the cursive workbook.  The students have been practicing paragraph writing with the “RACE” method.  Restate the question, answer the question, cite evidence from the writing, and explain the reason for the paragraph.  They have done a wonderful job with the rough writing and will continue to get better!!

Social Studies: The students will continue to learn about Geology of the state of Ohio, how it was shaped, who shaped it, and what it is today.  The students are excited to learn about Ohio.
