Who Am I?

This week we began exploring of first Social Studies Unit: Who Am I? This week we created our self portraits. The self portraits will be shared with the class along with how each child got their name! We also shared our blue writing folders!

Next week we will share our timelines and talk about our talents!

Here are the learning targets for the unit (all information retrieved from the Parkway OCG)

1. I can tell others all about myself and why I am unique. This means I can…
   • explain why I have the name that I do.
   • describe important people in my life.
   • describe important things that have happened in my life.
   • create a timeline of my life so far.
   • talk about things I am interested in.
   • talk about or show others my talents.
2. I can contribute to my classroom community. This means I can…
   • say why we have rules in our classroom and school.
   • understand the responsibilities that I have to myself and others.
   • use my voice to create rules which protect everyone’s rights.
   • help make decisions that contribute to the good of our classroom community.
3. I can act responsibly if we are not getting along in my classroom or school. This means I can…
   • say how people in stories and in real life have found better ways of getting along.
   • try to understand how other people feel.
   • identify a possible reason for not getting along.
   • say a possible way to get along better.
