Weekly Update

This was a great week ending with Grandparents' and Special Friends' Day this morning. The girls were gracious hostesses and seemed proud to show off their skills and talents to their family and friends. 

Our next event is preparing for the 4th grade musical. We have many helpful parents organizing the costumes and make-up. Here is a list of what they need to bring in from home for their costume. They need to have the items in by Tuesday, May 2.

The girls have their orientation for Middle School next Wednesday, May 3 and the program begins promptly at 8:00 am. Please make sure your daughter arrives a few minutes early on Wednesday.

We had a fabulous trip in DC! The girls behaved so well and really impressed me with their attention at the Portrait Gallery. They listened so well to the docent and had such great answers to her questions. It was a great day and a memorable trip!

I look forward to meeting with most of you next week for our spring parent-teacher conferences.  

We have moved into the decimals unit in math. The girls will learn the concept of decimals, order and compare decimals, and add and subtract. We will tie in our unit on money into this chapter since they go hand in hand.

All of the students have now finished their animal research report. They wrote a report from the perspective of the animal they researched and then recorded themselves. Here are their videos.
