We started our week on Tuesday by discussing Presidents' Day and learning about the United States' first president, George Washington. Students made a picture of Washington and wrote facts about his life in a journal. We read a Let's Find Out magazine about Washington and saw a picture of his teeth! We also discussed the similarities and differences of life during the time of George Washington and in the present. In the afternoon, we began chapter 7 in our math series. We practiced counting by 10s and 5s to 100. Then, we made a number line with hand prints to help us practice counting by 5s.
On Wednesday, we learned about the 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. We made a picture of him with his stovepipe hat and wrote more facts in our journals. In the afternoon, we made a picture of his log cabin. We also started a book about American symbols.
Tomorrow is Pajama Day! In the morning, we will be learning about President Obama. We will make pictures of him and write in our journal again. We will also have time to finish our book about American symbols. After specials in the afternoon, we will be watching The Land Before Time with other classes as a closing to our dinosaur unit. We will be discussing fiction and nonfiction as we learn about different dinosaurs from the movie.
Reminders: Tomorrow is Pajama Day! Book Orders are due tomorrow! No School Friday. Multiage/Single Grade request forms are due on Monday.
I hope everyone has a wonderful 3-day weekend!
