We had a great first, five day week! The girls are adjusting well to the routines and expectations of being a Fourthie. They are a precious group and we had fun celebrating 25 class compliments today by wearing pajamas and having donuts!
On Thursday, the girls not participating in band, learned about club opportunities. After the club introduction, they completed a form with their top three choices. We will make sure they get into one of their three choices and clubs will begin on Tuesday, September 24. Clubs will always be on day 4.
Here are some curriculum updates and reminders:
Math: We are working through unit 1, which focuses on numbers to 1,000,000. Specifically, we are learning about various ways to represent numbers, understanding place value, comparing and ordering numbers, and reviewing rounding. We also completed a fun activity called a Musical Moment for Musical Moment Monday. Here is the task they completed after listening to a song:
Language Arts: Today, the girls took their first WW test and we worked through it together. To prepare for this, we did many activities in class over the last two weeks. One fun activity is a picture matching activity that you can check out here.
Social Studies: We have been reviewing the three branches of government and next week, we will continue discussing the purpose of each branch and who is part of the branch. The unit will culminate with the girls designing a Pixton comic explaining a branch of choice.
