Social Studies: Our Country

We have learned so much about New York State! Some of the topics we have covered are: September 11th 2001, geography and NYS flag. Our key words have been: freedom, patriotism, heroes, landscapes and symbolism.

Now we are starting our new unit on Our Country - The USA. We will be covering: American Symbols, national parks, national holidays, american presidents, USA flag, growth in America, American leaders and patriotic songs.

We will be bringing home letters to our parents about what we are learning and mini-projects to do. The projects will be due for the following social studies class on wednesday... Its a really nice opportunity for your child to discuss with you what they know and reinforce what we have been learning!
