Poetry:
The Village Blacksmith by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Under a spreading chestnut-tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.
History: This week, we learned about George Washington who is on our quarter. We learned how he led the untrained American army to freedom from Britain. We did a coin rubbing in our journals, did a role play and made a craft of Washington.
Science: Students learned about the layers of the Earth. We talked about the crust, mantle, the outer core, and inner core. We learned that it can reach up to 11,000 degrees in the inner core. I made a playdough replica of the Earth. We also labeled/colored the layers of the earth and glued it in our science journal.
Thank you for your continued support! Have a great Spring Break!
