Post #16

It's the most wonderful time of the year! I love the energy and joy that fills our classroom. We are working with abstract nouns and discussing how prevalent they are during the holidays. The girls illustrated beautiful holiday scenes and added an abstract noun. We are encouraging folks to take what they need to enjoy this special time of year. Here are a couple examples:
This week's writing lab continued our work with abstract nouns. The girls are writing about their Christmas memories and are in the process of gathering images, and making recordings. The final product will be a multi-media treat. 

You've heard of the Twelve Days of Christmas, but have you heard about the Twelve Days of Edpuzzles? Ask your daughter about "The Tiny Dancer," "Monty the Penguin," and "The Bear and the Hare." What better way to start a math lesson than with a tender or funny word problem? Take a look:
Unit Two was assessed and the girls' grades were impressive. The test included some pretty tough equations and word problems. Kudos to this determined group of Fourthies. Look for the test in your daughter's work folder that will go home next Friday. We started Unit Three with a review of equivalent fractions. This week's lessons also included naming and comparing fractions and reducing to lowest terms. Fractions will be our focus for the next several weeks.

The girls learned about the elements of a fairy tale and are now creating their own tale. We are using Buncee (a favorite class tool).
