We have begun our next Social Studies unit - This is Our Country. During this unit students will learn about important American figures and symbols. This week we have learned what a symbol is and had a brief overview of the American symbols we will study more in depth in the coming days. Each day we will study a different American symbol and work on making a book about what we have learned.
After this unit, students will be able to:
Students will be able to...
- recognize leadership traits in famous people from the past and describe their contributions to our country.
- recognize some of those leadership traits in themselves. (which correlates nicely with our 'Leader in Me' curriculum also!)
- explain how different people have demonstrated leadership, including (but not limited to):
George Washington
Abraham Lincoln
Martin Luther King, Jr.
describe the ideas represented by national symbols, including (but not limited to):
American Flag
Bald Eagle
Liberty Bell
Statue of Liberty
Washington D.C.
White House
Capitol Building
When we go to the Magic House we will be using this knowledge as we participate in activities! Remember, the trip is on February 10 and permission slips are due THIS FRIDAY!
