Musical moments were a little bit country, Broadway, and everything in between. The girls submitted song choices for some math calculation practice. Have no fear, all songs were the clean version.
We finished reading A Song for Harlem. The girls really enjoyed the book and they did a great job with hashtag summaries. The summaries were so clever we decided to print them. Our next novel study will be Number the Stars by Lois Lowry. The girls chose a biography to read for their next book project. Several girls are reading their book online with Epic. Epic revised their platform and now has a student friendly login.
This week's writing lab had the girls designing a stick person and going on an adventure. They are retelling the adventure in chronological order and turning the tale into a radio broadcast. Naturally this group of girls wanted to extend the activity and include music and drama. Can't wait to see/hear the final product.
We are still in the 1910's and spent time understanding the tragic loss of the Titanic. The girls worked with data and were outraged by the loss of life and the disproportionate suffering of the third class passengers. We are looking at the causes of World War 1 and trying to make sense out of it all. Pretty heavy stuff for ten year olds. Epic and Newsela are great tools for extending and enriching what we are studying in History4Fourthies. We explored Epic and found several different Titanic themed books on a variety of reading levels.
Celebrating World Language Week was AWESOME!! The girls celebrated in chapel with songs and today they were treated to a Chinese dance program.
Please email me a digital family picture. The picture should include mother and daughter (and anyone else). It doesn't need to be recent. We will be using it for a project in the coming weeks.
