Since tomorrow is election day, we discussed the election process and watched a quick video snippet explaining that process and how the electoral college works. We read the books Grace for President and Duck for President. We discussed both candidates character qualities and then each student cast their vote. As you can see, Grace won the presidency in our class. ;)
Since Veterans Day is later this week, the students completed a puzzle. They were each given a sheet and told which parts to color what. They did not know how it would work until later. They each colored their page and then cut the square out. Each square was identified by a letter and number. We moved to the library and learned that a grid system would be the best way to put our puzzle in order since we had no clue what we were making. ;) The ending result is below. On this Veterans Day, we say "thank you" to all our veterans! Thanks for keeping us safe!
I worked with 1st and 2nd grade on note taking for a spider research book. I modeled note taking and then we practiced it together. We will finish this lesson and they will work on their own research in the coming weeks.
3rd grade is working on finishing their rough draft of their Weslandia brochure and beginning their final copy! Jack worked hard and completed his final copy today! I can't wait for him to present it to the class and tell us all about his civilization!
