A Thought to Ponder...
"Be cool to people even when they're not cool to you. Then we'll all be cool."
~ Kid President
Units of Study
Social Studies: Last week, we wrapped up our Slavery in Colonial SC with an visit by a native Gullah-Geechee speaker. She came and taught us some neat songs and words from the Gullah culture. See some of the photos below! I have a video clip, but I'll have to email it.
Wondering what Gullah is? Check out this neat website that we spent time exploring during our unit - http://www.knowitall.org/gullahnet/
The kids loved meeting Aunt Pearlie Sue! Some of her songs can be addicting...watch out! I find myself singing them often!
We are well on our way to the road to the Revolution in SC! We are exploring South Carolina's role in the American Revolution and learning about some key figures and battle that played a vital role in this great war! This is one of our favorite units...for some reason, the wars always interest the kids so much!
After our current social studies unit, we will be switching gears to science! We will be studying plant and animal life cycles and adaptations. We are in need of a large bag of potting soil for planting lima bean plants and Wisconsin Fast Plants. If you are willing and able to send in potting soil, please let me know.

SCES is NO PLACE FOR HATE!
- I promise to do my best to treat everyone fairly.
- I promise to do my best to be kind to everyone ~ even if they are not like me.
- If I see someone bring hurt or bullied, I will tell a teacher.
- Everyone should be able to feel safe and happy in school.
- I want out school to be NO PLACE FOR HATE!
It sure would be nice if our class had...
- Tissues
