Overall, the girls did well with the second quick check on adding and subtracting mixed numbers. We moved to the next concept of multiplying a fraction by a whole number. I added a catchy video to the blog that they watched to help remember the steps. We have a few concepts left in this unit and I plan to finish up the unit by spring break. We will have one or two more quick checks and that will conclude the assessments for unit 4. The next unit covers measurement so it will be a nice change from fractions!
We did a fun activity this week using a site called Flipgrid. The girls access this site with a code and they have a picture or video prompt to which they respond. They respond by making a quick video of themselves and their job is to include some Wordly Wise words. They did a great job with this and asked for more next week. There are so many great activities we do to supplement the WW workbook, like Flipgrid. Here is one example:
We are wrapping up the 1910's decade with our discussion of the Titanic and we will briefly discuss WW1. I hope to finish the 1920's by spring break.
Next week, we will work more on our animal projects and write a report from the first person perspective of the animal they researched.
