Wrapping It Up!
This week students will be completing Unit 4 in mathematics. They have been studying about fractions and decimals.
The girls are
creating their books reports in class, using a “morfo” ipad application and
will be sharing them with the class this week. This application allows students to record their summaries and insert a book cover picture or their face, which becomes animated with human facial characteristics, and thus, the summary is reported. The girls enjoyed this process and love their creations.
In history, students
are studying the 1900’s; a decade filled with new ideas, inventions (like the
Oreo cookie), and politics.
The Language arts curriculum
provides many opportunities to work on expository writing, attention to
punctuation, and completion of creative products that are interesting and
well-written. Students go through a three-step editing process before drafting
their final copy. We are currently working on writing “My Acre of Land” (to be
completed in January), which is a story of each girl, as if she were an acre of
land. She describes herself by what she places on her acre of land.
The Lower School Gift
Service will be held on Friday, December 18th at River Road Baptist
Church at 9:30 a.m. Please join us if you are free, as Fourthies will have
special roles for this service.
Please Note: Students
will be dismissed after they have returned to St Catherine’s School.
We will have a
Special Sing-A-Long Christmas Chapel tomorrow, Wednesday, December 16th,
for the students, with a visit from Santa. Students may wear festive clothing!
