The fascinator parade was all the rage! We tried to be our most regal selves. Here's a little video of some of the wedding guests.
A Fourthie tradition is to learn all of the states and capitals. Of course they could memorize them, but we know rote memorization is such a low level skill and these Fourthies are always up for a challenge. The girls are moving across the United States solving riddles, writing large numbers, and practicing rounding skills. And they can't get that catchy tune: Tour the States by Marbles the Brain Store out of their heads! The girls practiced measuring angles and determining area and perimeter. They can really "talk" geometry.
We are dancing through the 1950's. They listened to Elvis, Fats Domino, and Little Richard. They practiced editing some pretty rough grammar from those songs. Our final novel study is Abby Takes a Stand (Scraps of Time) by Patricia McKissack. It's a quick read set in the early 1960's. The novel explores Civil Rights and segregation through the eyes of a ten year old.
Our last Writing Lab is a Storybird that tells a Fourthie tale or memory. I will share their stories with the Class of 2027 next September. But you can read them in next week's post.
