The Fourthies are officially Fourthies. The girls signed the Fourthie pledge and received their one of a kind hats. The girls should bring their hats back to school to keep in their cubby.
The girls' creativity was in full force this week. They applied their geometry knowledge and completed an art/math project and wrote about angles and quadrilaterals. We continue to look at geometry in our world. Each week we spice up our math work with an audio component. Here's an example. Everyone wanted to talk about a favorite summer memory. What's better than talking? Writing, of course. The girls summarized and shared a memory. The memories were added to a collaborative map The girls will calculate distances and review cardinal directions using their "Summer Memory" map. Synchronized skating and horseback riding also made an appearance in math instruction this week.
Spelling quizzes were taken online today and will be in work folders next Friday. You can log into your daughter's Spelling City account and review her grades. No spelling next week due to the PE field trip. Our writing lab reinforced editing and sentence expansion. The girls saw how a simple sentence can grow when strong imagery is used. They used an animated image and "grew" their paragraphs using specific verbs, descriptive adjectives, an several senses. The girls logged into Newsela and read an article about 3D-printing. The article reinforced their technology lesson which introduced the Fourthie design project. Ask your daughter for details on this.
