The girls are working hard and staying focused despite all of the extra things happening. Here are some curriculum updates and reminders.
Math: Over the last few weeks we have been working on order of operations using the mnemonic GEMS.
We have also been working on adding and subtracting decimals, and ordering and comparing decimals. To wrap up our decimal unit and incorporate money, the girls will design a faux wardrobe and create a wish list with pretend money!
Writing: The girls have created some friendship machines and written descriptive paragraphs about how theirs work. Our last step is to design a business card. They did a great job on this writing lab.
Social Studies: The girls did so well on their region quiz on the northeast states and capitals. I was really impressed! We are now studying the southeast region and will have the quiz on that next Thursday.
