_________________Brenna Reed had her special week!
This week's quote was "Comparison is the thief of joy."
We discussed that comparing what we have or don't have with others can take away the joy of what we DO have! Our class nominated Hazel Schell for showing us that it is ok to be unique and wise to be proud of yourself for what YOU have accomplished!
Curriculum Updates
Reading: We are reading Flora and Ulysses. Every 7 chapters, the girls respond to comprehension questions and use context clues to figure out certain vocabulary. To practice, have your daughter share a current summary of the story so far, give opinions about the story or author style, and predict what may happen next in the story with TEXTUAL evidence for that opinion. We are also evaluating our "Elite Eight" picture books and will narrow our choices to the "Final Four."
Math: We assessed fraction computation and did an amazing job! We are now working with decimals. The girls had a lesson about the Dewey decimal system to make the decimals concrete. We will add, subtract, compare, and order decimals.
Language Arts: The girls learned about a new weekly writing assignment. I am writing the girls a letter and having them write me back including specific vocabulary and topics.
Social Studies: We are learning about the southeast region of the United States. To help learn the states and capitals, the girls have flash cards to help them.
