We will finish our unit on Habitats. We will complete our oceans foldable and introduce electricity. We will begin to explore open and closed circuits.

History
We will continue to look at the three world religions. We will understand how and when these religions emerged and the role that they play in our history. We will use this knowledge as a framework for understanding many important historical events. We will learn the symbols for Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Scholar will compare and contrast these three religions.

We are wishing you all a wonderful week ahead.
