Weekly Update

 

Our second Wordly Wise Dress Up Day was a success! I love seeing the girls express their creativity with this activity.

 

Since February is Black History Month, the girls will research a famous, black woman. They drew names out of a hat yesterday and know who they will be researching. Working with me, Mrs. Irving and Mrs. Kortas, the girls will take notes, assimilate their findings into a report, and then create an illustration of their famous woman. I look forward to sharing more as the month continues.

Yesterday, I passed out the game board for the Greg Tang Valentine's Day math challenge. I look forward to seeing which girls will take advantage of this optional opportunity.

 

For the next few weeks, we will be taking a pause on spelling to allow for a mid year assessment and evaluation of which skills to focus. We also will have the mid-year ERB tests the week of February 12 so homework will be lighter that week.
