Great Biographies

This week in biographies:

1/2:  We began our unit on Abraham Lincoln and read about his boyhood in the woods. 

3/4:  Students continued work on lapbooks and learned about John's work after the American Revolution.  

5/6:  We considered the significance of names and the Sojourner Truth's renaming of herself.  

7/8:  Students considered the influence of a places' founding principles, what it meant for women of Susan B. Anthony's time to have "views" and the "radical notions" of our time.

See homework below for grades 5-8.

Donation requests :

• The 3/4 class will be doing an in-class project for our next unit that requires us to cut out fabric shapes.  Mrs. Hostetler would appreciate any scrap fabric donations for this activity.
