Weekly Update

On Tuesday the girls will have their last Growing Up Healthy class with Nurse Blanton. I hope you have been reading the emails she has been sending to recap her lessons. They are very informative and extremely funny! It shows the range of understanding the girls have of these topics. For Tuesday, they need to bring in a small bag to make a puberty kit.

For this week's, 3WT, the girls responded to prompt above and had to choose a sound from this website. For their response, they made a video with a partner the site Flipgrid, now known as Flip. Here are their videos:

Amelia and Ashby

Sanaa and Meriwether

Eleanor and Jane Randolph

Queen and Gabby

Virginia M. and Anna

Virginia H. and Anela

Vivian and Hampton

Wallis and Holloway

During our technology time, the girls started something new this week. For three classes, half of the class is talking with Mrs. Sterling about the transition to Middle School, while the other half does a robotics unit with Ms. Hamilton-Dixon. After three classes, they switch to complete the other group. This is a great opportunity for the girls to learn about the Middle School in a small group.

Weekly Update

We are very excited about our fourth grade field trip to Washington DC on Thursday, April 13. All of the details to the trip are here and I am also sending home a hard copy in today's Friday folder. Please reach out to me with any questions.

In today's Friday folder, the girls have their fraction test from chapter 5. I did allow some corrections to be made before I checked it. We are still working with fractions and focusing on adding and subtracting fractions with like and unlike denominators.

In social studies, we learned an overview of the Midwest region this week and they have been studying the states and capitals within this region. We will have a quiz on that next Tuesday, March 28.  

We started a fun writing lab using a cool web site where they make digital sand art. Then, they write a descriptive paragraph about their illustration. The girls are also researching an animal and practicing taking notes in their own words. We have lots of ongoing projects happening.

The Gold/White Cheer Rally and it was very fun! Here are some pictures of the girls all dressed up and excited.

Weekly Update

We had a great week back from spring break. To share the best part of their week off from school, we used a site called Mentimeter where each girl shared something with the class about her break. Here are their results.

On Wednesday, all of the Fourthies helped to make birthday bags for Celebrate RVA. It was a great way to serve others and help this great non-profit. You may find some pictures here.

In PE, the girls will begin their bike unit on Monday. Please send in a bike helmet with your daughter on Monday since they have PE that day. 

The girls have earned 100 class compliments and we will celebrate on Monday. They may wear pajamas and bring in one stuffed animal that will fit into their backpack. I will have a treat for them as well.
