Week of January 30th - February 3rd
Testing: We will be testing over the next couple of weeks for Oaks State Reading/Math test. Make sure they get good sleep and are at school.

Geography: States to study this week are Missouri and Arkansas.

History: Students have been learning about the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Freedom Riders and Sit-Ins. They have been excited to learn about Civil Rights and hopefully this can continue into further research projects and great conversations.

We will have a student teacher in our classroom full time for the next 7 weeks. She has great experience and will be a great addition into the classroom.
