Science
This week, we will finish up our study of animals with a review of migration and hibernation. These are confusing concepts for students because there isn’t rule that covers an entire animal classification group. Check out the blog midweek for a fun website that reinforces the read alouds and discussions we’ve been having in class. On Friday we will play a round of Jeopardy that sums up the entire unit. The unit test on animals will be Monday of next week. The blog and science notebook are valuable study tools.
Social Studies
This week we will focus on the concept of being an active citizen and how volunteering in our community can make a difference. We will discuss several examples, including a group of students who worked with Habitat for Humanity to build ten houses in ten years! We will learn about our unique position as citizens in a country with so many rights and freedoms, as well as our responsibility to respect the limits of our rights. For example, although we have the right to free speech, it is against the law to yell “FIRE!” in a public place if there is no fire.
