We learned so much this week about our country! From history to current procedures in our government, our minds were going!
In honor of Presidents’ Day, we focused mainly on our presidents. Some of our topics of discussion included the responsibilities of a president, presidential elections and voting, and what presidents appear on different coins. We also discussed George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and looked at the characteristics of the American flag.
We enjoyed constructing flags out of Popsicle sticks, dotting our own flags, doing coin tossing, rubbing, cleaning, and sorting; and talking about what we would do it we were president. Check out some of our fun answers about what we would do if we were president!
We also discussed what it means to be a good citizen of our nation. We read a book titled Being a Good Citizen that talked about how we can be good citizens as children. Following this book, we made a good citizenship mural together that you can find in our classroom! We tied this theme in with our Bible theme for the week on loving and helping one another. See if your child can tell you Matthew 15:12!
We also worked on a variety of literacy and math skills this week! We did a great job with the concept of "greater than" and "less than"! See if your child can remember the song we learned. We also practiced using our sight words to build sentences and continued to practice counting by fives. We truly are learning so much!

We also had a great week in our Bridge class! We used our extra learning time to focus on learning more about our presidents, specifically Abraham Lincoln. We enjoyed finger painting our American flag and painting Abraham Lincoln. We read several nonfiction books, had independent reading time, and had some great discussions! We also had fun with some extra number work... We are becoming experts of teen numbers!
As with our morning class, we continued to take advantage of the beautiful weather!
