Everyone is excited for the long weekend! The girls and I began our discussion about Martin Luther King, Jr. to remember why Monday is a holiday. We began a collaborative mural of his portrait that we will assemble next week. We will continue studying his life and legacy next week.
The Fourthies had a special treat today when they helped with the ribbon cutting of a new Lower School playground. They then had a few minutes to play on it as a grade. This is an exciting addition to our campus!
Curriculum Updates:
Next week, we will begin a grade wide writing project that the girls are excited about. Each Fourthie will interview another Fourthie and will try to ask "big talk" questions. We learned the difference between small talk and deeper talk, "big talk." They will interview a fellow Fourthie and then write about what they learned. The project will end with each girl designing a magazine cover about their friend. The girls are extra engaged in a task that incorporates friends, pictures, and writing!
The president projects are just about finished. Next week, the girls will share their presidential portrait along with several interesting facts they learned.
In math, we are moving through the geometry unit. This week, we learned about equilateral, right, scalene, and isosceles triangles. Next, we will move on to quadrilaterals and lines of symmetry.
Thank your for partnership and support!
