Weekly Update!

The girls worked hard and had a lot of fun as well! In social studies, we wrapped up the scrapbook project presentations and the A to Z booklets. In addition, on Tuesday, we had a wonderful speaker from TowneBank. She taught the girls the difference between needs and wants and how to be thoughtful consumers.

In math, the girls were assigned a word problem, which included a real-life scenario using multiplication or division. They worked in groups to create a skit using any materials they could find in the classroom. The girls really enjoyed this activity! Click here to see some pictures. We also reviewed for the test, and I was very happy with the results! Look for this assessment to come home in your daughter's packet of papers on Monday.

In writing, the girls wrote a rough draft of their narrative stories. Next week, we will start the revision process. We will practice adding interesting leads/hooks, supporting details, and dialogue.

On Wednesday, we had a wonderful visit from our pen pals at St. Chris. The girls really enjoyed reading stories and having a nice treat. Also, the boys drew pictures filled with holiday greetings for the girls. A fun time was had by all. Click here to see pictures from this fun event.

On a side note, as we head into the last week before break, I would like to remind the girls to be on their best behavior. I realize there is a lot of excitement in the air and the girls are looking forward to Christmas. However, I have received several not so great reports from Specials teachers, and I have noticed some things as well in the classroom. I've already had a couple of "heart to heart" conversations with the girls, but nothing seems to be working. I told them that I am hopeful we can have a fun last week before break, but it is up to the girls to make it happen!
