The beginning of school is soooo exciting!!! We just completed our first full week of school and it has been great getting to know my students. Everyone seems to be settling in and adjusting to 5th grade quite easily.
In Social Studies we have learned about the Pledge of Allegiance and what we are really promising when we make this pledge. I hope that students now have a new understanding of this american tradition.
We also read Barack Obama's book, Of Thee I Sing, and we completed a writing activity modeled after the format of this book. As a class, we agreed that President Obama's book teaches us that we are all part of the history of this country and that we are the most important part...the future.
In S.S. class students will be using a journal frequently. This week each student got to collage the front cover to make it more personal to them. The kids used a lot of creativity to make these look awesome!!
Next week we will be reviewing 6 citizenship skills that are important in our society and beginning our Geography Unit. More to come!!
