In science, we have become geologists! We will be studying rocks, sand, silt, and clay before we study soil in the spring. We have begun a class rock collection. If your child find rocks for our collection in the next few weeks, bring them in! We have already begun sorting and studying the rocks that we have in our collection.
In social studies, we are starting a new dramatic unit to study the history of Manhattan. Specifically, we will be learning about the Lenape tribes that lived on our island. We received this mysterious map last week.
After reading and studying the map, we realized that we need to travel back in time to learn about Manhattan in 1514. Then we will need to travel into the future to teach the people of 2514 about the great things from 1514 and from 2014 to help inform their choices. We will be role playing, time-traveling, and learning all about our island. Stay tuned!
