We had a wonderful FULL week of school. We packed a lot in those five days. We finished up our unit on American Symbols. We made a Statue of Liberty and a Liberty Bell. (Activities from American Symbols unit by Teacher To The Core)
We also learned about the White House.
We reviewed out facts about Abe Lincoln and made his black top hat out of two types of cookies. YUM!
Our classroom grocery store has been a huge hit. We are having fun and learning! Just the way I like it. Thank you to all the parents who sent in empty containers.
We conducted a penny experiment. We discovered how the Statue Of Liberty turned from a copper color to the green color she is now.( Activity from Mrs. Jump's American unit.)
We had some special visitors this week. Some high school students came by to share how to stay healthy and active. This was part of the Floyd Moves promotion.
Mr. Craighead stopped by to read us a Dr. Seuss book for Read Across America month.
We enjoyed dressing up for Twin Day!
Don't forget to read 100 minutes each week. We are adding to our minutes at school as well.
Friday was Digital Learning Day. We used Skype to connect with Ms. Boyd's first grade class at Indian Valley and with Mrs. Bauserman's first grade class from Ashby Lee Elementary School located in Shenandoah County. It was super exciting and we look forward to connecting with them some more.
Don't forget Friday, March 20th is read my shirt Day!
