We all tend to “forget” concepts and skills we have “learned” if we have not used them for an extended period of time like summer vacation. We have been reviewing different concepts mastered in second grade to refresh our memory. As we move through Unit 1, 2nd grade “developing” skills are revisited, and some are mastered. 
We have started off by reading Flat Stanley and are learning many new and interesting vocabulary words. Please remember to send in an address for our Flat Stanley project by Thursday, September 3. Thanks for your help on this project. (Info in signed paper folders Thursday, August 27)
Our first Social Studies unit is on communities, and we will also review geography skills. Included in our Communities unit is a third grade favorite, a study of Historic Macon.
Our first science unit is on Soil Science. We visited the Science Lab for a lesson on soil layering. There is a lot to learn about dirt!
