and that this thing must be attained."

Curriculum Updates
Reading: We finished Ranger in Time: Rescue on the Oregon Trail. Facts from the novel were used to work on a mini-project to supplement the westward expansion unit. The girls could choose from creating a wagon with supplies, drawing a 1850 America map, or drawing the Sacagawea coin. We were able to add excellent social studies related facts to our notes for a future, end of unit project on westward expansion in the 1800s.
Math: We are currently working on 2 by 2 digit multiplication. We are tightening up the process of solving and checking our work. A digital Thanksgiving Escape Room is making solving math extra fun! We finished our "Leaping Numbers" challenge! We analyzed 20 different number patterns to discover a final mystery number.
Language Arts: We finished up our Macy's Day Parade balloons. As they finished, the girls were able to work on their favorite writing activity: QUICK WRITES. These are opportunities for the girls to write about any topic in any format. Their creativity really shines in these stories!
Social Studies: We are continuing our work on the timeline of the westward expansion of the United States in the 1800s. Students are in small "wagon train" groups. These groups are analyzing texts, having discussions, and considering options together as they "travel" westward.
