Social Studies - National Symbols

This trimester second grade has been focusing on national symbols.  Part of this study is learning about what a symbol is, and then learning what symbols we have in our nation.  We have learned about the President, the eagle, the Liberty Bell, Mount Rushmore, the Washington monument, Airforce One, and the Lincoln memorial.  At the end of our studies students were grouped into groups of six, and they were given a book to read together about one of the national symbols.  They then each picked one fact that they wanted to share about the symbol with the classes.  This week they will present their symbol to the class.
