successful guided effort . Finally, we continue our new novel, The
Trumpet of the Swan.

History: In History this week our students will be reading about the
Viking explorer, Leif Eriksson, and his travels to Greenland and Iceland.
They will recognize that the Vikings were the first to cross the Atlantic
Ocean to the land we now call Canada, and what we know of the
Vikings has been discovered by Archaeological discoveries. They will
also be learning more geography as we investigate the world map and
specifically the northern hemisphere.
Science: This week students will learn
and discuss how to care for their ears.
They will learn more about the pitch of sound and explore how the pitch of sound can change.
