We are beginning our next unit this week, Kings and Queens. In this unit we will learn about queens and kings and their royal families.  Through both nonfiction and fictional reading selections, we will learn about responsibilities, lifestyle, and customs associated with royalty throughout history.  This week students will be invited to create a royal scepter, read about some castles and palaces around the world, and write about                                      what it would be like to be a king or queen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Out objectives this week are to:

• describe what a king or queen does
• describe a royal family
• identify and describe royal objects associated with a king or queen
• identify important factors that ensure a royal family’s  success
