Wow! What a week! So much going on at St. Catherine's and in Room M02! It was such a treat to meet all the grandparents and special friends. The girls were gracious hosts and great collaborative partners with their guests. I can't wait until I can attend a "Grandparents' Day" with my sweet granddaughter.
The girls are rolling along with fractions- adding and subtracting with unlike denominators and reducing to lowest terms. They are grasping these concepts and solving fraction equations independently. I've been making "how to" tutorials for new math concepts and this has allowed for even greater independence. Many have commented that the videos are great tools. So... several girls have started making "how to" tutorials on their own as a way to remember concepts. Love that they are recognizing strategies that work for them!
We've been keeping the beat with poetry. The girls wrote songs and performed karaoke style. Several were HYSTERICAL and others so tender that they brought tears to my eyes. Creative writing was oh so clever this week. Take a look:
On a personal note- One of my favorite events this week was a surprise birthday party that the girls had for me. I have the best job in the world! These girls are unlike any others. See for yourself.
