Where in the United States was Mrs. Vecchiato?  Washington.  Its state capital is Olympia.

Social Studies Update

We have begun a three-chapter unit on common Native Americans from the US.  The first unit is about the Kwakiutl. Please look for Social Study worksheets and study guides. (Don’t recycle them yet- they are great study guides!) We will have our first test the week of Sept. 20.  More details to follow.

 

Writing This Week

The students did an outstanding job on their postcards this week.  They all followed the Writing Process of:

• Outline
• Rough Draft
• Final Copy

We shared them today and I will be displaying them in the classroom! Keep up the great work. 

Next week our writing assignment will be a Timeline.  You will find the rough draft- My Timeline Worksheet and the final draft-My Timeline in your child’s Friday Folder.  They will both be due on Thursday, Sept 16.  We are working on timelines in Social Studies and I have instructed the children to write the months and years of an important happening and a headline on the line that describes that particular event.  They can either draw and color the pictures in the boxes or use actual photographs!  Use your imagination.  We will be sharing these with the class!
