This week in Language Arts and
Social Studies we have been reading, researching, and learning about our
country's national symbols as well as our Texas state symbols. This unit on citizenship
could not have come at a better time than right here around Patriot Day
(September 11th). We are still distinguishing Texas symbols from those symbols that
represent the United States of America, but we are having a blast with them!
Here are a few of our symbols from
an assignment we did with our Social Studies books:
In Math we
are continuing to work on Addition and Subtraction using different strategies. Next
week we will be wrapping up Unit 1 and preparing for Unit 2, which will include
Place Value so stay tuned for that the week after next!
We have learned
to be Super Safe Scientists in Science this week. Our Science Notebooks are
finally set up for the year. After learning about what makes a good Scientist
last week we were ready to move on. We have signed our Science Safety Contract,
made a Title Page, All About the Author Page, and practiced Making
Observations.
Below are a
few examples of our Making Observations pages.
We observed a pencil using a hand lens.
