What’s Coming Up – Week of January 11

I hope everyone is cozy and warm on this cold winter day. It looks like we will have many opportunities for lake effect snow in the next many days. The classroom has been on the chilly side, so please layer those kids up in clothing to keep them warm! 🙂

 
Below is our 5th grade update. Please note the Social Studies section. A review sheet went home on Friday, but I have linked one on this posting as well.
