Reading: We began our next novel, Number the Stars. We learned a little bit about WWII and Denmark to prepare our minds for the setting of the novel. We also began a "mythological creature" bracket for our own version of March Madness. The girls had to choose criteria to judge the creatures and move them through the brackets. They are reading about various creatures and explaining their thoughts in the choices of which creatures advance.
Math: We began our
fraction unit. This week we covered decomposing and adding/subtracting like denominator fractions. A mini-unit on the order of operations was also started. The girls have enjoyed this type of solving and review of basic facts.
Language Arts: We completed our poetry blossoms for a spring display. We were also able to do some writing outside on these gorgeous days! The girls have started a new "Unlock the Rainbow" challenge. Ask your daughter which part they are working on!
Social Studies: Our Civl War unit continues with learning about the Emancipation Proclamation, the eventual end of the war, and the Reconstruction Era. We also take notes from the historical fiction novel Ranger: Long Road to Freedom.
