This week had some excitement! The girls enjoyed different cuisines in the dining hall each day and learned a little about salsa dancing on Thursday.
In reading this week, we continued talking about character development during our reading of Number the Stars. We took a quick break from reading yesterday. The girls worked hard to paint a scene from Copenhagen on a homemade postcard. They will write a letter inside from the perspective of Ellen or Annemarie. The postcards are looking fantastic already.
In math, we are just about finished with our first fraction unit. The girls will soon be assessed on equivalent fractions and comparing and ordering fractions. The assessment will also check understanding of converting mixed numbers and improper fractions, and fractions on a number line. Our next unit is more fractions but focuses on the computation aspect.
*For the next few weeks, we will be taking a pause on spelling to allow for a mid year assessment and evaluation of which skills on which to focus. We also will have the mid-year ERB tests the week of February 12 so homework will be lighter that week.
