We have had a fabulous week of learning here in room 17. This week in social studies, we began our study of the United States of America. We learned the cardinal directions and used them to navigate our way through a map of the United States. Over the next few weeks, we will be learning how to read many different types of maps and learning their purposes. We will also be zooming in and doing a short-focused research project on one state. Our culminating project will be a float in our US Parade. We are looking for the donation of cardboard copy paper boxes to use for this activity. We would accept with appreciation any boxes! Here's a peek at our work with atlases.
We began our work Taiko Drumming with Paton Sensei this week. We learned about the country of Japan, some things about school in Japan and some Japanese words. We have been practicing our drumming skills and are learning a piece for our performance. Look our for the notice from Mrs. Rito with the date and time of our celebration.
Other Things to Ask Your Child About:
- Coin names and values
- Adding sections and pages to our opinion writing
- Reading in same-book partnerships
- Mystery Doug!
- Setting up our "checking" and "savings" accounts in our base ten bank
Have a wonderful weekend!
