Curriculum Updates
Reading: We are continuing the Ranger in Time novel. We are answering deeper level comprehension questions in writing. We are also adding social studies related facts that are mentioned to our notes for a future project on westward expansion in the 1800s.
Math: We are continue working on multiplication. I am going over several strategies and am encouraging the girls to choose the one that works for their brain and gets them the correct answer! Most prefer the traditional method, while some are utilizing the break-apart strategy.
Language Arts: In writing, we learned about the history of the Macy's Day parade. We reviewed old photos from its beginning in 1924. We even saw what is in the lineup for this year's parade! The girls had to think of a balloon that isn't included and give detailed reasons WHY it should be in the parade. After typing their essay, they will create their balloon and set it against a New York skyline. These will look amazing in the hall and will come home in a few weeks.
Social Studies: This week we learned about the Lewis and Clark expedition. We added information to our timeline and notes for a future project.
