We have started our study of America and the symbols that represent our country. Yesterday the kids made flags that you will see coming home today. On the back is a copy of the Pledge of Allegiance and a poem called Liberty. The words in the Pledge mean different things to different families. This is a great opportunity for you to talk to your child about what it means to you.
We worked in groups to discuss what each color in the flag means. Groups presented their ideas to the whole class.
Thanks for the maps you worked on at home. The kids shared them with their friends and we learned about places in the world that are important to our families.
Look at these builders! We learned how Washington DC is the Capitol of our country and then these builders went to work creating a Capitol in the block area.
Bethany and Mrs. Gallagher came in to do “Space Camp” with us again, teaching us how to respect each other’s personal space.
And we have new fidget toys in the room to help us when we need a distraction or to help us focus and listen better. Kids loved checking them out.
Busy, happy days here at school!
We are also collecting mittens and hats for the Amherst Survival Center. Please send in new or gently used items if you can before December 21. Thank you!!
