It's hard to believe it's already almost May! The year has gone so quickly. But there's still a month more of learning to come!
In language arts, students will be reading and analyzing William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. We'll be discussing the themes, characters, plots, and language in the play.
In history, we're studying the Civil War. We've gotten an overview of some of the key events through a variety of texts, and we've analyzed the data to draw conclusions about the outcome of the war. In addition, students will be reading and discussing a work of historical fiction: Soldier's Heart.
