We are off to a great start for the new year!
This week in Social Studies we have been reviewing Roanoke, Jamestown, Plymoth and the original 13 colonies. We will be reading about how the colonies thrived in North America. The students were placed into groups representing one of the 3 regions of the colonies. (New England, Middle, Southern colonies). In a peer group they will design a poster to share with the class that will explain the many aspects of the region. This project requires cooperation, creativity and research.
The students also did some journal writing about customs and traditions. We discussed New Year's Resolutions and students wrote some plans for their new year in their S.S. journal. Some students volunteered to share their response on video. I am working on a movie to put on the blog. SO, look for that soon!
