Week of October 13th - 16th, 2026

Social Studies:

This week, students are beginning to dive into the world of Edo Japan. Students will begin with a World map then complete a map of Japan. This gives the students a better understanding of our relation to Japan as we start looking at Edo Japan through a modern lens.

English Language Arts:

This week, students are completing their Landlady Email/Letter assignment. This has been a buildup of work period since last week. As each class completes their good copy, they will transition to their second short story - The Lamb to the Slaughter!
