What Makes Us the United States

 We wrapped up our current chapter, 'What Makes Us the United States.' This week the kids made quilt squares which represented a symbol, landmark, document, or holiday in the United States. They had to draw the item, then tell write and tell the class why their symbol represented the United States. The class did a great job and the quilt is now on display outside our classroom.

Social Studies this week

This week in social studies we have focused on these three words: democracy, equality, and individual freedoms. We worked in groups this week to define one of the words and illustrate what the words meant to each group.
