Kindergarten was excited to end the Knowledge portion of this CKLA unit in a truly royal fashion! They have been learning all about Kings and Queens dating as far back as 300 years ago. The students have enjoyed hearing about royal kingdoms and royal families, and practicing their rhyming with stories like “Old King Cole” and “Sing a Song of Sixpence”. Their wordwork focused on multiple meanings of words like “ball” and sequencing events in stories like “Cinderella” and “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”. Yesterday they wrapped up the unit with a parade of royalty and a tea party celebration!

As part of a 5th grade ELA unit on the Maya, Aztecs, and Incas, the students researched a topic of their choice - farming methods, architecture, or social classes. The 5th graders learned how to take notes from a text, paraphrase text, and create their own paragraphs using topic sentences and conclusion statements. The final stage was to bring it all together into a Codex which included their paragraphs, pictures, and captions. The students are very proud to share their final products that demonstrate their learning from this unit. Thank you Mrs. Flagg for facilitating this creative project with our 5th grade students!
