Weekly Update

I hope everyone has a nice, long weekend. The girls worked hard this week and we accomplished many things. Here are some curriculum updates and reminders.

Attached is a letter from Mrs. Dorion about World Language Week 2024. If you speak another langauge, please read it!

Math

We worked through long division this week and will continue to practice this skills. The girls and I discussed the importance of having a strong fact recall. This week, I saw many careless mistakes on bigger multiplication and division questions due to basic fact mistakes. Our next unit will begin our study of fractions.

Writing

We partnered up with Mrs Miller's class and each student interviewed one of her students. We encouraged the girls to ask deeper questions. They then wrote a paragraph about what they learned. The last part of the project consists of the girls making a magazine cover about their friend. I will post more on next week's blog.

WW and Spelling

We started list 9 in Wordly Wise and will assess on this next week. In addition, we are reviewing irregular plural nouns and will assess on this next week.
