America The Beautiful

We spent the week learning about America and the symbols of our great Nation. We learned so much about the White House, the Statue of Liberty, and the bald eagle just to name a few. The students learned the reasons behind the colors of the flag, how to show our respect, and to honor the United States flag as we say the Pledge of Allegiance every day.
We also learned the song "You're a Grand Old Flag" in our poetry study this week. Students look for sight words, punctuation, and vocabulary words that we are studying within the poem/song. The poem is then carried over into centers.

Math was spent learning the skill of addition... This week we learned facts through 5, next week we will focus on facts through 10.
