Students are traveling in the afternoon to Ms. Baum's room for Social Studies. The students are studying American symbols and are working on constructing their own book of symbols they are learning about. Through the recognition and celebration of special days in our country, students will develop an awareness of the national symbols of our country including the Statue of Liberty and our Nation's Capitol. Students will also describe the contributions of non-Missourians including George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. As compared to previous years, a new direction for this unit is a focus on the character traits of leadership. Instead of just focusing on facts about famous leaders, students will use the lives of others as case studies on leadership in general.The EQ's for this unit are:
What makes a good leader?
What do symbols tell us about our country?
