We had another great week! This group of girls is sweet and fun, and we are having a fantastic time in fourth grade. Next week, we will be preparing for our class chapel, next Friday, September 29 at 8:15 in the Lower School Assembly Room. Please attend if you are able.
I sent home a Scholastic Book order this week that is due by Wednesday, September 27 so please place your order by then if you want to order anything.
Here are some curriculum updates.
Math: We completed our first Musical Moment using the song, All You Need is Love, by The Beatles. This came home in today's Friday Folder. This activity is a fun way to mix music and math and offers an opportunity for the girls to practice computation and following directions. Next week, we will continue with the geometry unit.
We used a website called Blooket to practice math facts and the girls love it! We can use this site in class as well as for homework. Please ask your daughter which game mode is her favorite.
Language Arts: The girls are doing a great job recognizing our Wordly Wise words in their reading and conversations. We started our first novel study of the book James and the Giant Peach. This is a fun book to read together. Roald Dahl was a fabulous author who wrote with such amazing descriptive language as well as wicked sense of humor. Yesterday, the girls completed their first collaborative 3WT. They did a nice job using the three words along with something from the video about illusions. Check out their creative writing!
