We've spent the week learning about Thomas Jefferson and his accomplishments in preparation for our field trip. This field trip will kick off our Westward Expansion Unit in a few weeks! We had beautiful weather and even got to meet TJ himself! Check out some pictures!
I loved seeing all the creativity today on our first Wordly Wise dress up day!
In math this week we wrapped up adding/subtracting/estimating big numbers! We will complete a unit review on Monday and assess shortly after.
During our writing lab the girls wrote about a witch casting a spell on them. The focus is on organizing thoughts, correct punctuation and including strong verbs and descriptive adjectives. Their edited work will be showcased in the hallway for Conference Day.
I've carved out about 30 minutes each week for the girls to explore a "wonder". This time is called personalized learning time and I know it is a favorite. The girls are working hard to strengthen their research skills and have the freedom to share their information however they would like! The girls have started presenting their projects and I'm beyond impressed. Here is a little peak into how the presentations are going. Ask your daughter to share what she wanted to learn more about!
