October Happenings!
The Watsons Go to Birmingham
We have begun reading The Watsons Go to Birmingham, by Christopher Paul Curtis. It is a story that takes place in both Flint, Michigan and Birmingham, Alabama. The story is about a family called the Watsons. We have been watching snippets of a Hallmark movie as well. This helps us to visualize the characters and the setting. We are also learning about the Civil Rights Movement.
Counting --One More --One Less!
Using a number line!
We are working very hard on one more and one less. We are using a variety of tools to help with finding one more and one less. Just ask me!!
The Civil Rights Movement
Some of our time has been spent following the story of the Civil Rights Movement. Nick has always been a fan of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We are now learning about the movement in Birmingham. Our book deals with the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church. We cannot believe that someone would do such a terrible thing!
