Me on the Map Project!

We are "zooming" into our world as we learn how to find our special place on the map.

Revamping a lesson that we do every year so that it is more engaging and organized! Can't WAIT to show my kiddos! https://t.co/Cpx0CZSmuA pic.twitter.com/vB0FvG4kcK

Thinking Like an Engineer

We modeled how engineers think by planning a "Playground Redesign".
​We asked ourselves: How could the playground parts be even better?

What's the Main Idea?

We read an article that  LOOKED like it was "All About Eagles",
​but we learned how to use the details we read to find the Main Idea. 

Main Idea: The Bald Eagle is a symbol of the United States.

We collected  details from the article to write our own facts about this national symbol.

But first it did just what it needed to do. 
Before it crashed Rosie...
before that...
it flew!"
