Curriculum News
As we get back into the “swing of things” after our Thanksgiving break, we will be taking a closer look at a number of beautiful and very famous bridges. We will study the different types of bridges and listen to some fun and entertaining stories for children that happen to take place around these famous sites. With the holiday season quickly approaching, our focus towards the end of the week will be about ways to be more kind and giving to one another. We will look at some other short stories that focus on this and how we can all do a better job of spreading joy and kindness to others all year long! Some of our writing activities will go along with this same topic. It will give us the opportunity to share and discuss some of our most favorite traditions that we enjoy during this festive time of year.
During our Math time, we will be working with gathering and using data as well as to use this information in a number of different types of graphs. This next week will give us the opportunity to explore our sixth continent- Oceania/Australia. Students will not have a map assignment this week but instead will get the opportunity to take a closer look at some maps of this region together and will get a bit more acquainted with “The Land Down Under”- the country of Australia. Students have been doing very well with their work while covering the seven continents and have learned many fascinating things about each of these amazing places!
