The Fourthie routine is officially underway and we are smooth sailing. We are all looking forward to our first full week. It was so nice to see so many of you on Thursday for our Parents' Night. The girls are a remarkable group- so pat yourselves on the back.
Our academic highlights:
The girls have been busy writing and navigating their Google Drives. They are becoming responsible digital citizens. The first Writing Lab included sentence structure with attention to capitalization and punctuation. The girls are writing a "mystery paragraph" about themselves and will embed a pixilated image. These will be on display outside the classroom. The younger girls enjoy reading our Fourthie writing. We are also working on summer memories. The memories will be added to a collaborative map. More on this in our next post. We focused on identifying verbs, adjectives, and nouns as well as editing sentences. We are using some silly Parry Gripp songs to reinforce these skills. It's raining tacos in room M02!
Wordly Wise list #1 was assessed on Thursday. The girls take these quizzes through their Quia account. I loved reading their Wordly Wise creative writing and seeing how they used images to inspire their writing. Spelling was introduced on Friday. The girls will practice and assess spelling in Spelling City. The list is brief and includes both commonly misspelled words and frequently used words from Wordly Wise list #1. I'll differentiate as needed in the coming weeks.
The girls are earning medals in Manga High. Manga High is a great site that reinforces computation and problem solving. We worked with reading and writing large numbers and place value up to the hundred millions. Problem solving using multiplication and addition were reinforced in our EdPuzzle. Each Tuesday we have Station Rotations in math. This is a great way for me to informally assess your daughter's progress. Granny multiplication was the favorite station. Your daughter can explain.
History4Fourthies will focus on our government and the role of the president.
