It's been a while since our last post. We have been busy preparing for the holidays and working on some fun Thanksgiving creations. Our reading units have covered a couple of really good stories including Officer Buckle and Gloria and Head, Body, Legs. Both of these stories emphasized teamwork and collaboration between groups of people and individuals.
We've been working in Social Studies as we learned more about our founding fathers and Mayflower passengers. Some of the Native American stories were well received as we learned more about Squanto and his tribe members.
In math we have come back to symmetry and th things in our environment that are symmetrical. We are planning a tour of our building where we discover those things all around us. Another fun unit of math is coming up next week as we explore 3-D shapes and discuss volume. We are looking forward to completing another unit of science over the next few weeks as we approach Christmas.
Our class has also purchased a new "Flip" camera through a grant from digital wish and we hope to have some video on the blog soon.
