Week 4
“Be silly, be honest, be kind.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
It was wonderful seeing all of you at Back to School night. I truly appreciate all the support I receive. The children benefit most when there is a strong home/school connection.
Social Studies: We are continuing our unit on Mexico. The students are focusing on the land of Mexico. We are continuing our work on describing where it is geographically located, the different types of land formation, the plants and animals, as well as what it is like living in different climates. We are learning the following vocabulary words: geography, land formation, plains, plateau, volcano, rain forest, and climate.
