Subject and object pronouns, and correct use of the pronouns, "I and Me" are the topics that we will study in English this week.

Students will work on creating their final region project, which will be to create a word cloud about the West using tagxedo.com. Their word cloud will include the names of the states in the West, and information about the geography, climate, sights and resources of the region. On Friday, we will create a "suitcase" in which your child will pack up all of his/her regional projects to bring home.
