Weekly Update

The girls have earned 75 class compliments and I am proud of them for this accomplishment. We will celebrate on Monday. 🍪🎥

  
Much of next week will be dedicated to preparing for our special Gift Service. The rehearsal and performance schedule is here. I hope you saw the letter from Mrs. Ivens about any extra costume requirements for your daughter's part. She communicated with girls in the choir separately. For any girls in strings, you should have heard from them as well. The letter from Mrs. Ivens is here

 
Since it has been weeks since papers have come home, the girls will be bringing their Friday Folders home today full of lots of work. Please take a few minutes over the weekend to pull out and go through the work. Their math test from chapter 3 is included in it. Thank you!
 
The girls worked hard this week on several fun Christmas activities. In math, we worked on problem-solving by starting the 12 Days of EdPuzzles. After Christmas, we will jump ahead to chapter 12, which is our unit on geometry. 

We discussed the difference between concrete and abstract nouns and began a fun Christmas project. Using Animoto, the girls will create videos where they choose abstract nouns to discuss their holiday celebrations. They will use videos and images to help create a dynamic movie. I will post the final products next week.

The girls have been amazing helpers as I have come back to school. It is so great to be back with them and appreciate all of their help and concern. 💝

Weekly Update

The girls have had a great week in my absence this week and are working hard. I loved seeing the pictures of them dressed up and I had fun guessing their Wordly Wise word. They did a fabulous job!

They have worked hard in math and learned the order of operations this week. Earlier in the week, they took a chapter 3 test, which was unexpected to them. We will look at it next week and I will give them an opportunity to make corrections. 

The girls have been researching their assigned president and starting to take their notes and turning them into complete sentences. At the end of this project, they will have a multi-paragraph essay and a hand drawn portrait of their president.

I have some fun Christmas activities planned over the next two weeks since the Christmas season is upon us!

Thank you for all of your support!
