March 7

Social Studies-On March 12th from 10:30-12:00, we will be culminating our American History study with a Wax Museum both live and virtual!  When you arrive, there will be directions explaining how to see our virtual museum. For our live museum, we will line the upstairs halls in our costumes, and share what we have learned of famous individuals who have contributed to America as it is today.  We have learned about our ancestors who fought for America’s Independence from Great Britain through reading, writing, and technological research.  We have researched about individuals such as George & Martha Washington, John & Abigail Adams, Sacagawea, and Thomas Jefferson.  We have made a time line regarding some of the most famous events in American History such as the writing of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, The Boston Tea Party, and the Revolutionary War.  We memorized the Preamble and are excited to share this with our friends at American Village, when we go on our field trip on March 31st. 

Math- We are increasing our knowledge and understanding of fractions in math, and continuing to develop our computational skills with larger numbers with multiplication, division, addition of subtraction. We are reminding ourselves to make sure the solution “makes sense” when we solve problems.  

Reading- We also are enjoying reading books daily that are developmentally appropriate, and that inspire us to think.  We are applying comprehension strategies such as making connections, predicting, inferring, and analyzing a story, which makes the stories more enjoyable and applicable to our lives.

Writing-After our Arbor Day contest, our writing has been linked to our unit in Social Studies with writing the Preamble in kids words, writing our wax museum speech, describing how a bill becomes a law, and publishing a class power point where we each explained one of the amendments of the constitution.

Check our class calendar if you are unsure of any of the upcoming events and don't hesitate to email if you have any questions:

We are looking forward to seeing everyone next week for our wax museum. Grandparents and friends are welcome, feel free to stay and eat lunch with us after the museum.

Have a great weekend and don't forget to "spring forward".
