Math was real world this week. Working with a pancake calculator (yes, that's a real thing), the girls planned a pancake breakfast for friends and family. They worked with "fraction of" problems as well as adding fractions to determine supply amounts. A pancake EDpuzzle was included in the lesson. On Thursday, the girls made their own pancake delights. All got creative with the pancakes shapes.
Fourthie Doodles were introduced this week. This involves doodling with a Fourthie picture and using Wordly Wise words in sentences about the doodles. Here's an example from Blair:
The girls presented their book projects and offered feedback to one another. This week's writing lab was a chance for the girls to demonstrate the skills learned in previous labs. I encouraged the girls to review their writing portfolio in their Google Drive when they have a chance. They should feel proud of their progress. I know I do. The girls shared their Three Word Thursdays (3WT). They are becoming savvy editors and are able to point out examples of strong writing. 3WT will be collaborative for the rest of the year. Student volunteers will create the slideshows. Ellie was our first volunteer. You can check out your daughter's creativity:
We are in the 1920's in History4Fourthies. The girls read about the 19th amendment and explored other parts of the world to see how women's suffrage compared to America. We took a more in depth look at the Harlem Renaissance. Collectively the girls read over 100 articles in celebration of Black History Month. Impressive!
