In math, we continued to work on addition, subtraction, and multiplication of decimals. The girls enjoyed using what they learned to go on a virtual shopping trip to buy some spring clothes. This week, we will practice estimating in order to check if an answer seems reasonable and then move onto division of decimals. We will continue to work on these concepts in smaller groups.
In language arts and history, we reviewed action, helping, and linking verbs. We also discussed the prefixes pre, post, fore, and ante, and the girls created a collaborative Google Slide (see below for what they have completed so far). They had to incorporate at least three words, which contain the prefixes mentioned above.
In addition, we met as a class to discuss the historical significance of the events taking place in our novel Number the Stars, and then the girls got into their smaller literature discussion groups. I was impressed by how well they are picking up on a lot of the more minor details in the story, and how they are using their inferencing skills to draw conclusions about events in the story. Finally, in preparation for Immigration Day, the girls took a virtual tour of Ellis Island and completed some notes.
- Middle School visit- 5/8 (from 9:00-1:00). The girls will get a bird's eye view of fifth grade.
