In Social Studies, we
discussed about who Christopher Columbus was and why he was so important.
We learned that
Christopher Columbus had 90 men on his voyage and had 3 ships. Santa Maria was
the biggest but his favorite was the Nina.
We had our first Science
Buddies this week! Science Buddies is when we meet up with a 5th
grade science class and the become the teachers and teach us about science.
This time, we made ooblek and the 3 stages of matter.
The 5th grade
buddies were so sweet and made each child a welcome card along with little
gifts. Our first graders really felt loved and can’t wait to go back to learn
some more science next month!
I read that this year Austin has decided to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day instead. Do you think that the school district will update the curriculum to reflect this eventually? Or at least cover both sides of the story with a bit more balance?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question, Lila. I feel like they will focus more on Indigenous people in next year's curriculum since that's what they're leaning towards.
