Post #29 The Jungle Book!!

What a great show!

Well,  the show is over and it was a fantastic one. The seniors were impressed with the heartfelt performance put on by these fantastic Fourthies! Our week was full of rehearsals but we still managed to "Keep the Lamp of Learning Burning." Our grammar focus was on using quotation marks correctly. The girls practiced writing dialog from the perspective of several animals. They are in the process of creating a multi-media presentation as a follow-up activity. 

The girls worked with probability terms in math and problem solved using fractions and multiplication. They were introduced to several interactive sites that reinforce fraction concepts. Ask your daughter about the pirates and their vessels and giant rays. Math was part of our final stay in the 1920's. The girls calculated the cost of groceries and analyzed the difference in annual income. They even compared the cost of cars and houses in the 1920's to the cost when you were born. Sadly, our journey in the 1920's has come to a devastating end and we are now entering the Great Depression. 

April is National Poetry Month. Rhyme schemes were introduced and put to use in the form of song writing and karaoke singing. Too funny!

A few very important reminders! 
The girls will be bike riding in Goochland on Monday. Please review the letter from the p.e. department. I've asked the girls to write a reminder and place it out in the open to help remember to bring their helmet on Monday.

Don't forget to sign-up for a spring conference so we can talk about your daughter and her transition to middle school.
