Time stood still today in the fifth grade as they spent a day back in Colonial America. Names were changed, class rules were a bit different, dress was proper, and activities had nothing modern about them! Only the SMART phone used for pictures was from 2015. What a great learning experience for the students to compare their daily classroom with a class from Early America. Fun day!

Keep on Reading!
On Friday, November 13, 2015, the first grade had the opportunity to participate in a Native American Presentation. At the beginning of the presentation, the students learned sign language to a Native American song. We also learned about the baby cradles that Native Americans made to keep their babies in, so they could accomplish other tasks. The cradles kept the babies snug and tight, so the baby felt like he/she was being held. The Native Americans also educated us on the different ways they used math to create their art.
