Math: We have moved quickly through the second chapter in math since the girls have a strong understanding of adding and subtracting larger numbers. Next week, we will work through a few more skills before assessing.
This week, I introduced a fun activity called a Musical Moment. In this activity, the girls listen to a song and every time they hear a selected word, they make a tally mark. They then take the tally count as work through different calculations. Here is the one we completed this week.
Language Arts: While continuing to read James and the Giant Peach, the girls searched for common and proper nouns as well as powerful verbs. This activity was harder for them than I anticipated so we will continue working with these parts of speech as well additional ones.
The girls completed their first Spelling and Me activity, which they loved. This is a creative writing activity that can be used with any spelling list. Here is a slideshow of their great writing.
For our writing lab this week, we did another activity that the girls loved called eyebombing. Their job was to place two googly eyes on an inanimate object around the school. Then, they took a picture of it and wrote from the perspective of their object. They were incredibly enthusiastic over this and their writing reflected this.
Social Studies: We discussed the three branches of the government and why they exist. Next, they will make their own diagram and then we will move into researching a president.
