Reading - The Kid in the Red Jacket
We will revisit all of the reading strategies that we have mastered this year as we journey through the novel, The Kid in the Red Jacket.

During the first few chapters we will focus primarily on the strategies of connecting, questioning, summarizing & predicting.

Science - Earth's Oceans

The forces that shape shorelines will be our topic this week.
