Weekly Update

 

We have had another great week. With the anticipation on Christmas, there is lots of excitement in the midst of still trying to learn new material. We will attempt to keep the lamps of learning burning until Christmas break!

I hope you saw the letter from Mrs. Ivens about the costume requirements for the Gift Service on Wednesday, December 20 at 9:00 am at Reveille United Methodist Church. The letter is here in case the hard copy didn't make it our of the backpack! Each Fourthie knows her role in the service and I reinforced that every single role is important.

We had a great field trip on Tuesday to tour the Virginia Capitol. Thanks to Maclaren's dad, Josh Humphries, for organizing a quick visit with the Virginia Secretary of Education, Aimee Guidera. It was great to hear from an accomplished woman in this leadership role.

The girls are enjoying our current class novel Rain Reign and are learning very much about empathy as we read about Rose, the main character. In math, we have been practicing 2-digit by 2-digit multiplication and will continue with a project on it next week. Using a fabulous website called Canva, the girls are creating slideshows to show their knowledge on abstract nouns. Their final products will be posted on next week's blog post.
