We have reached the second month into the 2025 year already! With only a few months of the school year left, there are still many units for the students to be presented with and to explore! This week students were given a new history lesson along with new geography lessons. In regards to the newly presented history unit, students are able to learn about different U.S. presidents. While exploring presidents’ work on the history shelf, students will have the opportunity to create their own timeline of presidents along with obtaining knowledge such as the requirements to be a U.S. President, background information of each president, and facts about the White House. In addition, students will have the option to explore different presidents in more depth through research works.
For geography, both classrooms are starting their continent studies for the school year. In Lower North, students are exploring the continent of Africa. They are learning about different countries through research, discovering African art and instruments, gaining knowledge about the people and the customs/traditions they celebrate, and learning about the different flags of each country in Africa. In Lower South, students are exploring and learning about some similar information on the continent of North America. After a month, the classrooms will switch continent units. Throughout these continent studies students will be able to discover diverse information and broaden their knowledge of the world.
We look forward to meeting with all parents at conferences next week! Also, we wanted to give a gentle reminder that we will be passing out valentines next Wednesday, February 12th. If your child is planning on passing out valentines, please make sure to have them brought to school by February 12th. Thank You!
