Please remember to sign up for a special week this year. Your daughter will have a special week to share about themselves, make a poster, and have an adult visit them for lunch. Let me know if you have any questions!

Curriculum Updates:
The white paper folder will come home every two weeks.
Next Friday will be the next set of papers that come home.
Reading - As a culminating activity for the summer reading of Because of Winn-Dixie, (or alternate book) we made "I AM" posters. We imagined we were a character from the book and described ourselves with vivid adjectives. These are hanging in the classroom and will come home soon! We also used this time to read over and practice our Chapel scripts.
Language Arts - We finished our first Wordly-Wise unit. We took the quiz together so that I could model the process and answer questions. We are also diagramming our first set of sentences and copying sentences to focus on correct capitalization and punctuation. For writing, we made a "mystery fourthie" page describing ourselves with clues. We included a pixelated picture of ourselves!
Math - We are working on large numbers to the millions place. We are incorporating number discs, standard, written, and expanded representations of the numbers. The students have enjoyed our enrichment math activities: esti-mysteries, guess my number, and a math mystery challenge. Ask them to tell you about them!
Social Studies - We reviewed the three branches of government. The girls chose one branch to highlight on a Pixton comic. We developed required criteria together and worked to showcase the information during a "field trip" to explore the chosen branch of government. These are on display in the hall and will come home soon.

This week's "Quote-of-the-Week" was "Don't be afraid of hard work. Nothing worthwhile comes easy." Students observed their peers all week and looked to see who was demonstrating the qualities of this quote. Today, students nominated Olivia Costa for being brave with her new school and all of the new adventures!
