2nd Trimester Targets

Beginning the second trimester, we have switched to more of a social studies focus while integrating our literacy skills. We will continue to work on many of the same targets as the first trimester, but we will go a little more deeply using social studies content and more complex texts.  We are focusing on collaboration with our peers.
