Students will also be taking a test to identify the states and capitals within the region. They will be able to retake until they reach 100% mastery. We are learning about the Southeast region, specifically the land and water, natural resources, culture, and landmarks. 

Religion: We are spending time meditating on the season of Advent through looking at scripture along with other activities. 

Please be sure to revisit the dress code for 1-4th grade.
