| Social Studies – We started the year learning critical thinking and questioning skills. We spent valuable time learning about each other by creating and sharing primary source boxes. I learned that my students are amazing, and I can hardly wait to dive into new and exciting skills. Our current unit covers map and basic geography skills. The students are working in small groups to apply what they are learning in a variety of manners. Click "My Resources" and "Geography" for activities to support our unit. Language Arts – In our language arts class, we just finished presenting our summer reading projects. My students have read a variety of books, and have done an outstanding job sharing their books. They have also evaluated the books presented by others and now have a list of books they wish to read throughout the upcoming year. We are now starting a unit on poetry. Be sure to ask your child about the poetry which we are studying. Also, we are reading aloud the book “Something to Sing About” by C.C. Payne. This amazing author will be coming to BMCMS soon to make a presentation to our students. We are all very excited about this visit.
