Last week we had studied the Lincoln Assassination plot and learned a lot of new information. To show what the students learned they created Wanted Posters for John Wilkes Booth & we also memorialized President Lincoln. It was a fun way to end our mini-unit on Lincoln.
In math we started Geometry (Module 5)! We're learning about Area, Volume, and beginning to draw 3-d prisms. This is always a popular module as the kids love to figure out the different shapes.
Social Studies has us right in the middle of the 1760s as the colonies begin to realize they want to fight for their independence. We've learned about the French & Indian War, The Royal Proclamation of 1763, The Stamp Act, and The Quartering Act of 1765. Students are beginning to realize why the American colonies wanted to fight Britain for their freedom.
On Thursday we earned our second class party and had delicious root beer floats. It was the perfect way to cap off all the hard work they've done for the last few months.
