America, The Beautiful The best music for the best country!!!!!

In September we celebrate Constitution Day.

We begin the year with a unit on the Continents and Oceans.

Then we will do an indepth study of Christopher Columbus, followed by a unit on Native Americans. We will continue with the Pilgrims and Colonial Life.

Students are honing their geography skills.

Here are some of the books we will be reading:

The First Thanksgiving, by Jean Craighead George

On the Mayflower, Sarah Morton's Day and Samuel Eaton's Day by Kate Waters and Russ Kendall

Three Young Pilgrims by Cheryl  Harness

We created flip books to compare our life to that of a Pilgrim boy or girl.

We will soon be celebrating colonial life by doing several activities that represent life in the 1600s

Be sure to ask your child to tell you the details.
