Today we learned how to decorate warrior shields. Indians told their stories by mouth or with symbols. We decorated the shields with our "stories" done in symbols!
Sitting Bull was a Plains Indian Chief. We studied the timeline of his life. He was about 60 yrs. old when he died. He traveled in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. He was known for promoting peace between the Indians and White Man.
We learned about "turn around" facts in math.
We had Guidance at the end of the day and practiced different strategies for stopping bullying.
We learned that we will be presenting a play called, "Stone Soup," on Thursday, December 10th @ approx. 10:45 a.m. There's a possibility of a little luncheon to follow in our room - Stay tuned for details, but mark the date on your calendars!
Monday your child will be moving to Ms. Lucas' room during the social studies block of 1:45-2:45 to learn about the Southwestern Indians!
Hope you have a nice weekend in spite of the chilly forecast! I will be going to a 60th anniversary/reunion at my former grade school, Our Lady Queen of Peace in Madison. Should be fun to see old classmates and maybe their parents!
