In reading, our essential question was "Why are rules important?" We read about rules that towns have as well as rules for the government. We learned about the Constitution and several American Symbols.
In math, we spend this week dividing shapes into parts. The term "area" was introduced and we found the area by counting squares inside a rectangle. We focused on the terms columns (up and down) and rows (side to side). We also started to recognize fractions by dividing shapes in half.
We continued in social studies to discuss how community leaders are elected and what responsibilities they have. They can make laws, pay for services or build something new.
We spent some of our time this week preparing for a special day this weekend. Sorry...no pics ;)
Have a great weekend especially to all the Moms!!!
