We are beginning our study of symbols. We will be learning about the symbols of California as well as those of the the United States. We will cover our national and state flags, the Statue of Liberty, the bald eagle, the Liberty Bell, the White House, the California poppy, the quail, the redwood tree, and we will study maps. Your children will be making various art projects that correspond to our symbols. In social studies this year we will cover 6 units about Our World, Now, and Long Ago (Harcourt - Reflections): * Being a Good Citizen * My Country * Workers * Where We Live * Time Goes By * Stories of the Past Our next unit will be safety. Over the course of the year we will discuss various topics including safety, proper diet and exercise, good hygiene, going to the doctor, and generally keeping our bodies healthy and safe. We use The Great Body Shop to aide us in teaching these lessons. http://www.fossweb.com/modulesK-2/index.html We will have 3 science units this year: Trees, Wood, & Animals 2x2. During each unit we will use our senses and hands-on activities to help us observe and explore these topics.
