School is in full swing and all of the students are working hard towards their goals.  In reading class we just finished reading a short story about an Indian tribe.  This week we are going to begin reading a story about a family that emigrated from China to the United States and the hardships they went through getting accustomed to a new culture.

               In Social Studies we just finished up on Mesopotamia and the fertile crescent.  Students performed well on their tests and were able to make their own irrigation ditches.  Next, we will be traveling to ancient Egypt to learn about their culture.
