Lent

Dr. Seuss Week!

We had a grea time on our first field trip to the Rep Theatre to see Dr. Seuss' Cat in the Hat!

 

America Unit

Here are some pictures from our America Unit. Last week we studied the Presidents, and this week we learned about American Symbols. The kids loved learning about this history!!

 

We are making an American Symbols nonfiction book. We read a nonfiction book and chart the most important facts. This is a great way for us to reinforce finding the main idea in a story. Then they choose their favorite 3 facts and write them in their book.

 

We learned about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and made a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting them.

We talked about the role of a president and then wrote about what we would do if we were the president!
