Living History Immigration Day: This Friday May 17th
Language Arts:
This Wednesday is our last Author's Visit of the Year. Students will hear about the art of writing books by beloved author Jessica Day George. Tuesdays at the Castle has been a
popular "read". She will be sharing her new series with us as well. 4-C will be previewing and purchasing books at the Lower School Book Fair on Wednesday, May 15th from 2:30-2:50 p.m. Please send in a check or cash with your daughter, if you would like her to purchase books, or better yet, join us at the Book Fair! There will be books available from the Summer Reading List.
Literature:
The girls have already read three chapters in their new class novel, Letters from Rifka. It is a riveting story of a family's escape from Russia. The family struggles with being separated, hiding from the authorities and then at long
last, being reunited at Ellis Island.
History 4 Fourthies
We will be having a "Living History" experience this Friday. Students will create their own costumes from items found at home, and bring a basket with a snack. This could be fresh fruit, cheese, crackers, or cookies, for example.The girls will board the classroom ship, The SS Cavallo and the fictional journey to Ellis Island will then begin. Please make sure your daughter brings a change of clothes to school. The girls will be changing before they go to lunch.
Mathematics:
We will be making and measuring more angles in our journals. Students are becoming adept at measuring with a protractor. More opportunities to multiply and divide with whole numbers and decimals will become part of our daily routine this week. The girls are also learning to multiply three digit numbers which seems difficult at first, but as students work through the process they realize that it is just one more similar step to take in order to find the answer.
