Reading - Unit 1 - "Courage" - Lou Gehrig
The final story that we will read in the Courage unit is a biographical piece about baseball player LouGehrig. While studying this text, we will continue to hone our close reading skills and focus on identifying statements that are facts and statements that are opinions. A statement of fact can be proven by looking it up in a reference source. A statement of opinion tells what a person thinks, believes or feels.

How do you use commas in a series? That is the question we will answer this week when we revisit use of commas when listing multiple items in a sentence.

We will complete this portion of our study of the Southeast by adding the Southeast region to our individual U.S. Maps. Students will also enjoy a "Taste of the Southeast" when Chef Bell & Chef Krasnodebski serve up samples of some of the agricultural products of the region on Thursday.
