Post #8

It was all about collaboration this week. The girls pulled together and created a unique forgiveness themed chapel that they will share with the Lower School at 8:15 on Monday morning. I love the way they go into high gear and become completely focused on a project. 

Three Word Thursday creative writing was a little different this week. The girls added their creativity to a shared slideshow. 

The girls were introduced to story elements and are taking notes on the fiction book they are reading. The book report will be completed in class and will include some snappy multi-media. Speaking of book reports, the girls were unsure where I posted their animals reports. Check them out.

We are working with factors, multiples, prime and composite numbers, and multi-step problem solving. Ask your daughter about the bar method of problem solving. The girls are completing interactive "worksheets" in Matific with great accuracy. They are becoming math rock stars earning multiple medals in Manga High. We had a little Halloween fun with math, creating candy corn factor trees, costume problem solving and reasoning. Next week's fact check will be on the 5x tables. 

One of the favorite Fourthie activities is Wordly Wise Dress-Up Day! Details below:

                                                                   

Do you dream about a special WW word? Do you get happy when you see a WW word in a book you are reading or hear a WW word in a song?  Do you answer questions and deliberately try to use WW words in your responses? If you have answered yes to any of these questions then you officially have WW Fever! No need to be worried. It happens to most Fourthies and it’s a cause for celebration. We will celebrate WW Fever on 10/30/15. Start thinking about a word that tickles your fancy. How could you dress to represent or explain the word? What clever outfit could you create? Each Fourthie is encouraged to come dressed as a WW word ((from lists 1–5) on 10/30/15. We’ll take pictures and create our very own picture dictionary. So, develop an idea but don’t utter a word to anyone. You may be eager to share your ideas with your peers. Resist the temptation to disclose your outfit. We want everyone to be surprised. We can’t wait to applaud your creativity.

Girls- What word can best describe the Girls Rock Star, concave or convex?
