Machines book

We are tagging onto the Unique theme this week and talking about machines.  We learned that there are 6 simple machines and when you put 2 or more simple machines together, you can make a compound or complex machine.  The book covers what the 6 simple machines are and also provide some examples of what they are.  We have a student on the front and 2 students on the back who have jobs involving machines.  See which machines they are by reading the book 🙂

We are learning about the state of Oregon this week since it became a state on Feb. 14, 1859.  We learned about some of the sites you can see, like Crater Lake and the Blue Mountains.  We also learned that they have a pretty interesting festival that celebrates fungus!  We’ve got 2 different students on the front and back covers of the book enjoying some of the beautiful scenery.  Take a look!

The 1950s book

For the new year, we’re taking a look back at the 1950s.  We found lots of neat things that happened during the ’50s like the invention of TV dinners, the creation of the Mickey Mouse Club tv show, and the welcoming of the 50th state of the United States.  We found a few other things too.  You’ll have to read the book to find out what those are 🙂  We have one of our students attending a sock hop on the front of the book and another one of our students dressed as Lucy from the I Love Lucy show on the back.  Enjoy!
