America

We used Mrs. Jump's America unit in February to help us learn about George and Abe and the American symbols. 

Chit-Chat message about George Washington

Circle maps for Abe and George to record all our new learning

We compared and contrasted George and Abe using the venn diagram. We made George Washington from The First Grade Parade. Get instructions here. The darling Lincolns are from Amy Lemons. Grab it here.

More chit-chat messages from Mrs. Jump

We made bald eagles by tracing our hands and feet. Here is another thinking map we used to organize our thinking.

This was completed throughout the week using interactive writing.

Here are some of the books we read throughout the week

America unit

I never got around to posting pictures from the America unit created by Mrs. Jump. My kids had so much fun with this unit, they loved it. They especially enjoyed learning about the Statue of Liberty. Here is a look at what we did. I just bought a bunch of books for this unit from Half Price Books.

The president circle map came from another blogger.  I've always had this master and done it with my kids. I love the addition of a circle map.
