Junior Achievement Program

Our class will be starting Junior Achievement on Monday, October 15th.  Our Junior Achievement volunteer, Mr. Blocker, will be visiting our classroom over the next several weeks to present lessons about creating and running a business.  The sessions will teach students different concepts such as supply and demand, use of resources, cost of business, and profit.  This program shows students real-world applications of several Social Studies' concepts.



A Look at Next Week:
Spelling- We are moving onto lesson seven, with a test on Friday.

Social Studies- We will be learning about the 13 colonies.  We will finish chapter five and will be taking a test the week of October 22nd.

Reading-  Students will continue to ask more thought-provoking or "thick" questions while they read "Volcanoes."  All students will be presenting their Memory Bag Project on Tuesday, October 16th.

Language Arts- Students will finish our chapter on punctuation.  We will begin reviewing for their test which will be given the week of October 22nd.
