Welcome Class of 2026!

The Fourthies are into the swing of school and have had a fantastic week. The "Lamps of Learning" are burning. Ask your daughter to explain.

The girls reflected on last year and set some goals for this year. The trials and tribulations of a squirrel helped the girls understand the value of determination and the importance of lending a helping hand. 

We jumped right into math. The girls had their first math "Musical Moment" and completed several EdPuzzles. This month's EdPuzzles will highlight friendship and possibilities. Here's an example:

The girls received many passwords to the many educational sites that we will use. Thank-you for signing the Acceptable Use form. They created their first assignment in Google Classroom and are in the midst of completing a layered math assignment in Google Classroom.  After completing a virtual scavenger hunt, they are pros at navigating our Fourthie Site.

Spelling and Wordly Wise words were introduced and the girls had a little fun using their spelling words in "Let's Make a Deal." More on that next week. I loved their enthusiasm during our first Three Word Thursday. Fourthies write across the curriculum. Just wait until you see the writing portfolio they will amass this year.

History4Fourthies began with a discussion of our school's history. We will move into the 2000's next week. The girls will learn about "their decade" before we delve into the 20th Century. History4Fourthies will always include culture and society as it affected/affects women.

The Student Ambassadors (McKenzie and Sarah) have been raising the flag and helping with classroom organization. Our class Photographer (Cate) has captured the week in pics. Our class Reporters (Ali & Stella) completed the first weekly "Four by Four." Class leadership roles will change ever week or two.
