5th Grade Social Studies
Civil War
Explore the Many Battles of the Civil War!
I am very excited to announce that for our civil war section of American History, your sons and daughters will be engaging in a real-life timeline of the battles fought during the civil war! Since some of the sites are located in and around our community, I thought it would be a fantastic idea for the children along with you, their parents, to visit some of the sites, learn about the battles, and get a closer look at the areas in which the battles were fought! We will be using the technology Lino so that your child can share pictures and information about the sites they visit with other students in the classroom! In groups of 4-5, the students will combine their photos and experiences to educate the class on what they learned personally from visiting the sites as well as what they learned from other students' experiences in their group!
Research Paper
I will keep in contact with you and your child via Remind101. This technology allows me to send out mass text message reminders with important information. Please be sure to check for texts from me!
A fun and interactive way to get involved in your child's learning!
-This is not a problem as children will have the opportunity to work on computers at school!
What if I am unable to take my child to these historical sites?
-Again, not a problem! I realize that you all are very busy and if you are unable to take your child to these sites, there is an interactive website they will have the opportunity to visit and see pictures as well as read a background on the battles.
