This was a great week and the highlight was the girl's visit to the Middle School on Wednesday. They had an opportunity to share what they are excited about in Middle School and also what they feel nervous about. Click on the adjectives to see what they had to say!
The girls are progressing well with decimal computation. They enjoyed a shopping project where they were given $200.00 to spend on a wardrobe. They visited several web sites to go shopping. Their challenge is to come as close to $200 without going over, which is hard. We will finish this up early next week. Next week, we will also focus on multiplying and dividing with decimals. After that, we will review concepts from the whole school year.
We visited a neat, interactive site about to tour Ellis Island. The girls spent some time exploring what it would have been like to comes into the United States through Ellis Island. They then took on the role as an immigrant and began recording what life was like in a diary. They will write some more entries next week as we prepare for Immigration Day next Friday. For this, they will dress up as an immigrant from the country they researched. They will share several of their diary entries to help us understand what life was like leaving one country to come start anew in the US.
