The 1st-4th have history together, which was a lot of fun! I started with a name game to help us get to know one another. I then split the class up into teams and tested their knowledge about Christopher Columbus. I simply asked multiple choice questions about him, and as a team they agreed on an answer. I was impressed at how much they knew - and the teams tied!
I then pulled out the world map so that we could trace the big voyage.
Finally, we reviewed the history sentence for CCM and talked just a tad about Vasco da Gama and Magellan.
5th-6th:
Doug gave each student a folder for them to keep and each week he will have handouts for them. He has a note to parents in it that gives a description of the class. PLEASE LOOK AT THE FOLDER AND READ THE FIRST COUPLE PAGES.
The class has a reading and writing assignment as well. He has provided him with his personal books. They will be switching books each week, so it is VERY IMPORTANT THAT THEY BRING THE BOOKS WITH THEM TO CLASS EACH WEEK.
He wants the class to be educational and enjoyable, but he also takes it very seriously and hopes you do as well!!
