We enjoyed our visit at the Congaree National Park on Tuesday! Students met Ranger Corrine, who introduced the park to us. She also told us about the animals and plants living in this habitat.
We stopped to check out one of the largest loblolly pines in the world! It took 16 students to "hug the tree!" If you have time, visit the park with your family!
I hope you've had a wonderful week, families! Our week has been super busy!
Looking ahead: Students will be learning all about Native American legends, as readers. They'll discover why legends were told in the first place to Native American children. Students will also be setting new AR goals. As historians, students will wrap up their unit of study with a discussion on the effects exploration had on Native Americans. We'll review for their unit assessment on Wednesday and test on Friday. Students will also be wrapping up our measurement unit, focusing on area models and circumference. As writers, students will write a descriptive piece on the "monster" they created.
We'll be starting our weekly multiplication fact quizzes next week! We'll be testing on the 1s table next Friday. A letter will be going home soon regarding our weekly multiplication quizzes. Please be sure your child is working on them daily!
A special shout-out to our chaperones for our first "Being There Experience" to the Congaree National Park. Thank you Mrs. DeLong, Mrs. Moody, Mrs. Kivett and Mrs. Reynolds!

attire, or treat bags. Teachers are
asked to ensure adherence to these guidelines during the day. We appreciate your
