Happy Monday Everyone!
This is a great time of the year! We began a unit of history that is very thought provoking. We are learning about the history of the United States people from prehistory to the 1600s. Please take time to ask your child periodically what they are learning. We are also exploring very large numbers in mathematics. Today we figured out about how many days, hours, and minutes old we are. Yes, they even had me figure out mine! That was a big number! This week will will also begin two new reader's theater plays. The children will be assigned to either one about George Washington or the other about Abraham Lincoln. They will be given the task of working together to create scenery, props, and be able to read their parts with expression. We will work on this over the next several weeks. The children are very excited and learning much in computer lab as they work with Lego robotics. Also, we are continuing to work on essential reading skills in all content areas. Like I said, this is a great time of the year!
