Here are some curriculum updates.
Math: We have finished working through unit 3 on fractions. We will have a brief test on Tuesday and will review a bit more on Monday. Our next unit is on more fractions! It includes lots of computation with fractions and they will have an opportunity to apply the skills we have been working on, including finding equivalent fractions. I am proud of them for their perseverance with this challenging topic.
Language Arts: We have wrapped up our novel study on All of a Kind Family. In several weeks, we will begin a shorter novel called A Song for Harlem. On Wednesday, the girls checked out a book about an animal of their choice for our next book project. At this point, they should enjoy reading about the animal and learning more. Next week, I will give them a graphic organizer for their note taking.
Reminders and Important Information
- Alice is our carpool helper next week
- On Monday, January 28, we will hear from the author Russell Ginns
- I will be conducting "mini-conferences" with each student starting Wednesday. This provides an opportunity for me and your daughter to discuss what is going well for her in school and any areas in which she could improve. They signed themselves up for a slot this so I look forward to this one on one time with each student.
- To further support Shepherd's Way, the Lower School is collecting hand warmers. When I served there this week with Mrs. Cavallo's class, Pastor Collins said they have an immediate need for hand warmers with these cold temperatures. We will collect them from Monday, January 28 to Tuesday, February 5. Thank you for your support!
- Mrs. Dorion asked that I share some work from your daughters in Chinese class, which concluded last week. Each girl researched a Chinese speaking country and made their own eBook about that specific country, researching food, languages, currency, population, landmarks, fun facts, and etc. Check them out here.
- Scavenger hunt
