Last week, we finished our unit on counting money and began a unit on using money. We created a web to show all the ways we can use our money. I took a picture to show you all because the things they picked as examples were so in keeping with their personalities- I felt the need to share :)
Last chapter, we learned that we should always use the least amount of change to make an amount if we have it available. Sometimes we have to use what we've got in our wallets or piggy banks though, so we practiced using different coin combinations to make the same amount.
In Social Studies, we are learning about cultures and our ancestors, and everything that goes along with it. Legends and cultural artwork were the focus on Thursday, and we listened to an old legend about how the rainbow was made. The kids listened to the story, and then created a picture depicting all the details of the story that they remembered. We compared our pictures and discussed how easy it is for legends to change as they are passed down through generations. The pictures turned out awesome and the kids LOVED the legend of the rainbow! Here is a link to the story if you'd like to read it for yourself :o)
Please have your kids work on the timeline project due on Monday. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. It got a little chaotic at the end of the day on Friday when we were going over directions :)
Logan was our star of the week last week and will continue as our star the week we come back to school. He only got a few days as the star since he was absent. Bring in a favorite book and a toy to share with class, Logan :)
Enjoy your break!!
