Update!!!

We have been working so hard!!

We completed a 4 Chapter Informational Book on Pioneer Life.

We worked on researching our topic, deciding on chapters, creating a "Micro-Story" and 

writing a persuasive essay with a thesis.

These are being graded this weekend and will come home

next week!  They are WONDERFUL!!!!!

Also, we have been learning all about the Good Ol'

 State of Indiana.

We have created State Maps, which will also be graded this weekend!

This week marks the end of the 3rd grading period.

I can hardly believe it!!!!  Time is FLYING BY!

Report cards will be available on MYCCS next Friday.

Please take some time to go over your child's grades with him/her.

Much to my daughters dismay, we have a weekly meeting where we check her 

grades on line and set goals!  It is really helpful!

Enough about business...here are some pictures of kids doing what kids do best!
