Today's Summary… 

Morning Meeting -We began our day with a Think Outside the Box Thursday art activity. We had a blast sharing our creative (not an elephant!) drawings with one another. 

Social Studies- Today we began one of our final Regions Unit activities. As geographers we are now exploring our OWN state of NJ. We learned about New Jersey’s tourist attractions, special celebrations and state symbols. Today we focused on taking notes (researching) about our state. Tomorrow, we will begin a mini-poster on why NJ should be considered the BEST state in the USA.

This week’s homework:  Read 20 minutes nightly and READ chart due on FRI (4 activities- one per night) 

Math- Today we continued in our measurement unit. We learned how to measure using customary units of volume. Today we focused on: cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. We used real-world examples and measuring containers to help us understand this concept. See GC for a video and example of today’s skills.
