Literature: The girls have completed their novel study on Lily's Crossing by Patricia Giff. They now have a greater view of life in the midst World War II. They are creating hashtags for each chapter and will be sharing them with each other in class when they are completed. We will begin a new novel study on Scraps of Time, A Song for Harlem, by Patricia C. McKissack. This is a story of twelve year old Lilly Belle, who is chosen to participate in a seminar for young black writers. She will spend six weeks in Harlem with her Aunt Odessa and will be studying with 17 other students under the author Zora Hurston in the summer of 1928.

Mathematics: We will continue working on measurement and incorporate adding, subtracting and rounding decimals when we return from Spring Break. Students will be enjoying liquid measurement outside as soon as the weather begins to warm.


Language Arts: Haiku Spring Poems and Tanka Response Poems have been completed. The girls have been enjoying the study of Japanese and Chinese brush watercolor paintings and have created brush watercolor bamboo to complement their poetry. We will be hanging these on the bulletin board outside of the classroom along with their Haiku and Tanka poems. Take a look at this quick and easy explanation of Chinese Brush Painting.            Watercolor Bamboo Painting Tutorial

Compliment Party: We had a wonderful adventure on Wednesday, going to Zazoli Sweets. The girls "stepped in time"  for their Compliment Party so that we could walk there, choose some delicious treats, and walk back at a quick pace in order to join Mrs. Marshalek for P.E. A great time was had by all. It was a wonderful little neighborhood adventure.

History 4 Fourthies: Students are completing the first pages of their Country Research Reports. They are using the Lib Guide, which they
can navigate to from the Fourthie Site, "Everything Else". There the girls can find on line Encyclopedias and special information pages for their Countries. It is incredibly easy to navigate and has outstanding amounts of information.



Have a Wonderful Spring Break!
