Nov. - March
We began our unit by learning about Nigeria. Students learned:
-where Nigeria is located-that Nigeria is a country that has states
-how Nigeria's geography compares to America's
-what languages are spoken there
-capital, population, flag, and currency
Students also became experts on one of the following topics:
*education*
*housing*
*food*
*climate*
*transportation*
*chores/jobs*
Students then created a collage that showed the
differences in that topic between America and Nigeria. :)
We then began to learn about what a folktale is, what elements are in a folktale, what a moral is and what types of morals are in Nigerian folktales. Students enjoyed many Nigerian Folktales and learned the importance of Folktale morals.

We read many mysteries that we had to solve.
Some of the ways we learned to solve these mysteries included:
- Patterns
- Codes
- Logic Boxes

Once we had solved numerous math mysteries, we wrote our own!
These came out amazing and students were very proud of their writing!
