Curriculum News
There always seems to be so much material to cover and not enough time! This next week will probably be the same! During our Reading/Literacy block, we will be starting our “Journey to Freedom” unit as we take a close look at our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln. It is important for our students to understand the awesome sacrifices that President Lincoln made to help make our country as great as it is today! Our math time will be spent with some extra practice on 2-digit subtraction with regrouping and will continue with the introduction of a unit on telling time. Clouds and weather will be a topic of discussion as we explore the idea of the water cycle in Science. Also, our continued exploration of the seven continents will be happening during our allotted time for Social Studies. This next week will take us to Asia as we take a closer look at the country of China. Students are enjoying the opportunity to learn a bit more about the culture of each country that we explore….see if they can fill you in at the end of each week about our new discoveries that were made about our amazing planet!
