January is a great
month for listening, learning and looking at the snowflakes drifting in the
air. The girls and I ran out onto the green to enjoy our first flurry of
snowflakes. It was exhilarating. Their wish for more snow looks like it will
come true in the coming days.
Students are learning
about abbreviations and reviewing personal and possessive pronouns. They are
spending time working on these skills as they formulate their writing
assignments and challenging themselves to incorporate even more of what they
have learned.
The girls have
completed the book, Number the Stars, and have begun A Year Down
Yonder, by Richard Peck. This novel
tells the sweet story of a girl from Chicago, who goes to live with her
grandmother, in a rural town during the depression.
In language arts,
students are completing a creative writing piece entitled Her Acre of Land.
The girls have presented orally to the class and will be completing an artistic representation this week.
Please note that all written assignments on your daughter’s google drive can be viewed with just the click of a button.
Students are putting together large numbers and learning lattice multiplication. They will be practicing basic multiplication facts for the 13's.
