Classroom Neighborhoods

Today, we started our very own classroom neighborhoods. As we study what makes a community, we are really focusing on how people in a community support one another. In all small groups, each person plays a role to help support their group. Sometimes the group needs to hold a vote to make a decision. Today, the group had to decide on a neighborhood name and more. The groups did a great job and we read about some neighborhoods in New York City. Tomorrow, we will do some work on using maps. Some kids took the social studies book home to read those pages again (p.16-19).

Tomorrow, we have our second word wall test. The words are on the back of the homework sheet. Please make sure your child has studied and is prepared. We create sentences with our word wall words on Friday morning, so be prepared for those too!

Also tomorrow, we have a special assembly. The secret word is "Bubbles!" Can you guess what the assembly might be about??

See you tomorrow!
