It’s been a beautiful week! In anticipation of the arrival of our butterfly larva, we have begun learning about the life cycle of the butterfly. It will be so much more meaningful when the children actually observe the various stages of the life cycle.
We are continuing our study of multiplication and division. The children seem to have a good understanding of these concepts. We are also focusing on place value in the thousands.
In Social Studies, we concluded our unit on Jimmy Carter and government. We discussed the roles of the President, governor, and mayor. The children are also able to identify our state and national capitol buildings in Atlanta and Washington, D.C. They can also locate the capital of Georgia and the United States on a map.
The children are doing a good job with their persuasive writing. They wrote a paragraph persuading me to promote them to third grade! We will continue to focus on persuasive writing for the next few weeks.
Our Citizen of the Week was Sammi. We enjoyed looking at the photos on her poster. She enjoyed sharing her ribbons, gemstones, owl statue, and other favorite things.
Have a wonderful weekend!
