This week's quote was "Don't let anyone rob you of your imagination, creativity, or curiosity. Make it the life you want to live!" Students observed their classmates all week and nominated someone for demonstrating the meaning behind the quote. This week's recipient is Fiona Nicholson!

We did an amazing job on our chapel lesson! I am so proud of how well the girls practiced and prepared for chapel. We received many compliments and felt proud of our work! Everyone understood the theme and message we wanted to convey!

Curriculum Updates:
Reading: We completed the book The Hundred Dresses. The message was understanding others and treating them as we would want to be treated! We designed and drew our own dress to showcase our unique creativity like the main character, Wanda. These are on display in the hallway. Our next work will be to analyze the story elements of the book. We continue to use "Picture of the Day" to work on our inferences and questioning skills.
Language Arts: We are diagramming sentences and rearranging sentences to pay attention to structure and punctuation. The focus is on prepositional phrases to add detail to our sentences in writing. We started a hand-written, descriptive paragraph assignment. We will edit and revise these paragraphs before hanging them in the hall.
Math: We continue our work on large numbers through the millions place. We are rounding and comparing the large numbers. The girls are already showing growth in their thinking with anchor tasks! These are challenging tasks that use what we are studying in a unique, real world way. This growth should be evident in section C part of the unit test that will take place late next week.
Social Studies: Our Pixton projects are just about complete. We focused on one branch for a "field trip" to visit the matching federal building for that branch. We will now work to understand the "road to the white house" and what general requirements are necessary for a candidate to run for the Presidency.
