Women in History

We began our latest social studies unit today with a bang!  The girls will be learning about famous women in history for the next several weeks and they got their first taste this morning by meeting Amelia Earhart.  Our special guest had to fly a long way to tell the girls her life story and the girls especially loved learning the mystery of her disappearance.  Here are a few moments from her visit.



The girls were also introduced to our last digraph, "wh". We brainstormed some wh words as a class, then the girls went back to their seats to write several wh words on their own.  We will continue to focus on all the digraphs we have learned (wh, th, sh, ch) in our word study period.
