Famous Americans

We spent the month of January learning about famous Americans. In particular, students spend a lot of time learning about famous African Americans, such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks. Each student selected a biography chapter book from the library, and used the book to obtain information to write a report. Students also made timelines about Harriet Tubman, who was another famous historical figure from our country's past.

Scoot

This week Miss D taught the students how to play the game "Scoot". Students worked in pairs to solve subtraction problems throughout the classroom and then check their work by using addition. This activity was a great way to reinforce how to subtract with regrouping, and to work collaboratively.

Thank you for the recycled donations! The kids formed a band with the instruments they made!
