English: We will give ourselves another week to complete Unit 1 in our Grammar books, finishing up the lesson on “Run-On Sentences” and reviewing the unit altogether. The Unit 1 Test will take place next week (although it’s never too late to start studying as it’s a long unit.)
Science: In class, we will begin to study “Chemical Changes” in matter (Ch. 7.2) focusing on the differences between chemical changes and physical changes.
Social Studies: We will begin “California’s First People.”
Religion: We will be switching gears to Chapter 6, “We Believe in God.”
Best,
Mrs. Espinosa
