Here We Are!

Here We Are!

 The girls have completed their last novel, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, by C. S. Lewis and will be creating a one paragraph story line recorded on vocaroo to summarize the novel. They have made little character puppets to go along with this activity.

We had a wonderful “living history in the classroom” naturalization ceremony to sum up our study of immigration. We took a steamship to New York. The girls dressed up and had baskets of snacks; went through Ellis Island; answered civics questions; had ears and eyes checked by “classroom doctors”; and the girls finished their immigration journals. Ask to see them. The story of their journeys to America were each unique and inspiring.

Students have learned the rudiments of using Roman Numerals and practiced their skills using their house numbers and their years of birth. They now have a greater respect now for using the Arabic Number System.

“Being an Expert” projects were a great success. 

Presentations were fun and informative and backboard designs were artistic and had a professional flair.

Students have gone “touring” the United States. Ask them to sing their song for you! They have learned all of the states and their capitals.Tour of the States with Lyrics

Promotion is tomorrow! The girls have learned a lot and have had a great deal of fun mixed in. I have truly enjoyed this class and wish all the best for them in fifth grade! Can you believe it? They are ready for Middle School!

Thanks for a wonderful school year! Have a great summer!
