HANDWRITING/WRITING
Lucy Calkins--We are working on thinking like writers and getting our ideas on paper using pictures and words. We are also talking about "When we are done, we just begun" and revising and editing our work by adding words, labels, pictures, color, and details.
CORE KNOWLEDGE
Native Americans--This unit introduces students to the concept that indigenous people lived on the continents of North and South America long before European explorers visited and settled in this area. Students will learn that there were many, many different tribes of Native Americans, and that each tribe had its own way of eating, dressing, and living, depending on where they lived. Students will learn abou three tribes in particular: the Lakota Sioux of the Great Plains region, and the Wampanoag and the Lenape, both of the Eastern Woodlands region. They will begin to understand how different geographical regions influenced different lifestyles. Students will learn that each Native American group has its own distinctive culture.
