We are almost finished learning about the Civil War.  We have just finished learning about the life of a soldier.  We are wrapping up the role of a woman and will finish with war technology.

Our Folktales and Fairytales unit is over.  Students have had so much fun reading the fairytales, completing the activities, and watching the videos of the numerous stories that we read.

We have been having so much fun learning about the Civil War in Social Studies.  We have learned about the leaders of the War including Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, General Grant and Robert E. Lee.  Next week we begin discussing some of the major battles. 

In Language Arts, our Folktales and Fairytales unit continues to be a lot of fun.  We have read Henny Penny, The Shoemaker and the Elves, and Jack and the Beanstalk.  We are also reading a chapter book.  Mummies in the Morning is a fictional book that takes the children back to ancient Egypt.  Each chapter gets more exciting than the previous one.

Math is moving along nicely.  We are on Chapter 30 in the book.  Multiplication and division has been very fun to learn about.  We will be reviewing and taking the chapter test on Monday.  After that we will be reviewing everything that we have learned this year because we will be finished with the book!

I have had such a great time teaching your children and watching them grow throughout the year.  Thank you for sharing them with me!
