Today I sent home a paper form that explains the Quarter 2 History Projects for Egypt. Below are the forms needed to complete each project. Please help your child choose only 1 project. I will only be grading one. I recommend that you print from the link below, but get a glimpse of the forms from the screen shots.
Tomorrow we will be having our Three World Religion History Test. Today in class we will play a review game. Please have your children study their books at home and the vocabulary below. They should be able to know and describe each of the words.
I have also attached links to some helpful/fun videos that we watched in class.

We are almost done with our Three World Religions unit. Below are the links for the projects due December 20th. After the break we will begin our unit on EGYPT (a 1st Grade favorite:)) I have also attached a Quarter 2 History Tracker so that you can see how your child can earn an Outstanding Grade.
Since we are now learning about landforms during Geography/History, students have completed a clay landform project in class. Although the project is complete and will be highlighted, if students would like to earn Flying Colors they can decorate, label and add to their landform by Friday, October 18th. Below are the list of landforms students were asked to choose from:
Valley, Mountain, Volcano, Island, Desert Plain, River, Canyon, Peninsula or Bay
Your child should know which landform they made, but if not please refer to this list to help them decide what their landform coudl be. The Flying Colors must show their understanding of what that landform really looks like. Please encourage them to use paint, rocks, sand, etc…
Below are some examples of what students have done in the past:
Students are learning about Maps and Geography. We are currently working on Country and State. After completing our Geography Book page, students are encouraged to work on Geography puzzles to learn more about how maps work. See the learning for yourself:)
