Learning Fun for March 20-24

We had a lot of fun in social studies and math this week! We got to shoot Nerf guns at coordinate grids in order to locate and identify ordered pairs! The kids LOVED this! We also got to do lots of acting for social studies! The kids acted out the Bill of Rights, performed raps, made posters, and made skits about how state and local governments work to promote the common good.

 

 

Check out the links below to see the kids' skits and songs about how state and local governments work to promote the common good! They did a great job!
