Curriculum Updates           

Reading: We have completed the novel Number the Stars. The girls are working on an essay response about their thoughts and opinions about the story. Next, they work on a "body biography" poster where they analyze a character and make inferences about their habits, choices and inner thoughts. These will be on display in the room for a while before they come home.

Math: The upcoming fraction assessment will check understanding of mixed/improper numbers, simplifying, and fractions on a number line.  As we are reviewing, I am noticing we need a little more time, so we will continue to review next week and then assess. We will then move to fraction computation.

Language Arts: We have researched a famous African American woman.  Now the girls are typing an essay and creating an illustration through the site Canva.  A link will come home soon so you can view our digital class book! 

Social Studies: Our time this week was used to complete research and begin the essays.
