Social Studies: To give an introduction to Abraham Lincoln we read a cute story about him called Abraham Lincoln's Hat. It explained that Lincoln frequently lost of forgot papers, so in order to keep track he stored then in his tall hat. Student were given a chance to color in their portrait of Lincoln and some even chose to draw in a tall hat for Mr. Lincoln.
Lifeskill Assembly: Today's lifeskill assembly recognized June for his Perseverance ("I will finish what I start"). He also was our class's representative for the three-legged race - he made us proud! We were then awarded with an extra 15 minutes of recess for excellent behavior in the month of February.
Math: We were introduced to addition. Together we talked about counting on to add two numbers. We generated the two numbers using a pair of dice. After practicing several addition problems together and explaining strategies for counting on, students went back to their seats and worked as a table team to create and solve their own addition problems.
Activity: We colored our modern American flag, which has 13 stripes and 50 stars. Students were urged to take their time, especially on the blue portion so as to not color in the stars.
