SS:  Quick Study Lesson 4

Flip Book due Monday!

Chapter Test 1 on Tuesday!

I have been nominated to do the "Ice Bucket Challenge" in an effort to raise awareness and funds for ALS.  I will be doing this tomorrow during recess!  Yikes!  I showed the children a video about a man named Pete Frates whose family started the Ice Bucket Challenge.  Next week we will be reading Lou Gehrig's story, a non-fiction article about how ALS affects the nerves in the body and an informational article about how social media has been used for a good cause.  We will be comparing and contrasting different types of writing related to the same topic.

If your child would like to make a small donation to ALS tomorrow, they may bring it to me in the morning.  I told them I will match whatever they bring in.  Thank you for your support!

Ssshhhh! The secret word for tonight is "secede."  Not succeed!  Come in and whisper it to me for a treat!
