This week included Halloween, swimming, and St. Catherine's Day! Phew...we have had a busy but fun week. Monday started out great with our Halloween parade, Big Sister/Little Sister event, and then our grade level party. We squeezed in some new skills as well so here are some curriculum updates.
Math: We discussed what factors are and learned how to factor numbers. This is a skill that they will need as the progress in math in areas such as fractions. We also learned how to multiply a two digit number by a two digit number. We will continue to work on this next week because many girls seemed confused.
Writing: This week we tried a 5 Word Friday instead of 3 Word Thursday due to our busy schedule. The girls watched a live webcam of animal from various locations around the world and had to include something about what they watched. This was lots of fun!
Social Studies: To conclude our discussion on the three branches of our government, the girls are creating an illustrated flip book. We will finish the books next week and then move on to a research project on a president.
