This topic tied in nicely with our study of Dental Health. We learned about the kinds of foods that promote tooth decay and what we can do to reduce problems with our teeth. February featured the birthdays of our past presidents Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, as well as President's Day. We read many books and learned some specific facts about our first and sixteenth presidents. In Social Studies we learned about Natural Resources, what they are, and what we can make from them.
Writing is a very important part of our curriculum.
We remind our students of these items daily and we appreciate your reinforcement of them at home. We have many exciting units planned for the month of March. We had a great introduction to our Science units on light, shadow, and rainbows when we learned about Groundhog Day. In Math we will be learning about money, the value of coins, the meaning of the images on coins, and combining coin values. This will lead into the study of the Patriotic Symbols of the United States and Virginia.
