Weekly Update

                                   We've got spirit, yes we do! 

Many important things came home today. Please check your daughter's backpack for her Friday Folder. In there you will find a fraction quiz, quizzes on regions and the most recent spelling and Wordly Wise work. We've been very busy the last two weeks. These girls have done a fabulous job of remembering capitals and states in the NE and SE regions. We have spent a lot of time in class practicing studying skills and sharing creative ways to remember each state and capital. Your daughters are SO clever. 

Here is the communication previously sent from Middle School about choosing a World Language for next year. Please note the March 29th deadline.

After Spring Break, we began reading Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. This is one of my favorite reads. Throughout the book we are focusing on three big words: respect, persevere and empathy. These 3 words are woven through the entire story and the girls have made so many great connections so far. 

Next week, we will add and subtract fractions with common and uncommon denominators. We will also continue to review converting improper fractions to mixed numbers and simplifying fractions.
