We had a great first 5 day week! We dove into curriculum while also preparing for our chapel next week. The girls are so close to filling up their "compliment jar"!
On Thursday, the girls not participating in band, learned about club opportunities. After the club introduction, they completed a form with their top three choices. We will make sure they get into one of their three choices and clubs will begin on Tuesday, September 24. Clubs will always be on day 4.
Please remember to sign your daughter up for her special week! Details are here!
During Language Arts this week the girls did so well learning the vocabulary words from list 1 in Wordly Wise. Today we took the quiz together to establish that routine.
We also finished our first writing lab where the girls wrote a paragraph describing themselves and included a pixelated picture. They love this project and the younger girls especially love guessing who is who.
We finished a class read aloud of The Hundred Dresses. This a timeless story that shares messages about of bullying and discrimination in a straight forward manner. Children can learn about dealing with tough decisions like standing up for friends, fitting in, and ultimately how to show forgiveness. It is a fabulous story and we had some great class discussions. Next week we will begin a project that goes with the book's message.
During social studies, we began reviewing the three branches of government with a cool info-graphic!
In math we are working through Unit 1 which focuses on numbers up to the millions place value. We had fun using place value discs and place value mats to represent and dissect different numbers.
