You should have received an invitation to presentations for boys and for girls on May 24 at 6:30 P.M.   I encourage parents to attend with your son or daughter.   If you still have that blue sheet, please return it so we have an idea how many are attending.

Social Studies:   The final copy of the research paper is due this week, May 24. Next they will work on their oral presentations.

Our study of the Civil War continues this week, as we learn about decisive battles, Lee's surrender, and Reconstruction.   The Unit 6 test will be the following week.
