Dr. Martin's 3rd grade class went back 100 years to 1924 to celebrate the 100th day of school!
First, they learned about the inventions from 1924. For example, each student had a bag of Wheaties while they watched a special performance from George Gershwin. (Did you know that Wheaties were created 100 years ago in 1924?)
Next, the Johnson-Reed Act of 1924 was briefly introduced and heard a snippet from Morris Schneider, an immigrant from the 1920s who immigrated from Poland.
Then, they kicked off Module 3 in Wit & Wisdom, which coincidentally has the theme of 'How do stories help us understand immigrants' experiences?' We had a book tasting to get a "taste" of what we are about to learn. We had help from our two volunteers from the middle school to help us taste each book.
Lastly, students had to go to work! Groups had to learn how to sew, bake, and stitch. They also got to play games that were popular in the 1920s along with some STEM activities.
We rocked 100 days of school!
Actively participating in Wit & Wisdom across the school! Mrs. Workman's Kindergarten class finished writing and illustrating their first book because they have been learning about the elements of a good story (characters/setting, problem, responses to problem, and resolution). While over in 3rd grade, Mrs. Hart's class performing Tableaus from events in their book: Moonshot by Brian Flora. Keep up the great work!
Mrs. McDonald's Kindergarten kids are finding partners to 5 using Eureka math picture cards. Success!
