Today was an energetic and active week. Here is what we have been up to:
In Math, we continued to learn about shapes in our geometry unit. We created a Polygon Family Tree to think about the categories of shapes and understand, for example, that a square is also a parallelogram and a quadrilateral. Here is a picture of the Polygon Family. We also took our Unit Test and will start a new unit on Monday.
In Reading, we finished Fig Pudding. It ended in a really funny scene involving...can you guess? Fig pudding! We all laughed a lot. Then we started a new book called, The Watsons Go To Birmingham 1963. It goes along with our study of the Civil Rights Movement which is pretty cool.
In Social Studies we are still learning about the Civil Rights Movement. We learned about the Little Rock Nine and Ruby Bridges and how they were brave and integrated schools long after Brown vs. the Board of Education. We also went on a field trip to the John F. Kennedy Museum/Library. We learned a lot about The March on Washington and even got to do a mini-march of our own. There were a ton of teenagers watching us which was weird. Here are some pictures.
Have a great weekend, readers!
