This week was extraordinary! We successfully went on our first field trip to the Nashville Children's Theatre and they all loved seeing "The Hundred Dresses". It was about lifting people up and not tearing them down because you don't realize how much your words can affect them. Our whole class was extremely well behaved.....my favorite part had to be them choosing to sing Chapel songs the whole bus ride there and back :)
The rest of the week was filled with activities that allowed them to be creative and independent. The two main assignments we worked on this week were a research project and a personal or friendly letter. They got into groups for their research project and could choose any location around the world but they had to learn all about it and then present it today! The next project was a letter they wrote at the beginning of the week and we worked on improving our writing skills until we ended with our final draft. They all read those aloud today and it was so uplifting to see how encouraging they were to one another! You can see pictures from both projects below!
Next week is the last week of the 9 weeks.....How is that possible? Time flies when you're having fun! So, to wrap up next week, we will have additional tests in math and science towards the end of the week- they will both be over chapter 2. Just a reminder that assignments and homework are on RenWeb if you want to keep up with what we are doing each day. I hope you all enjoy your weekend and I am already looking forward to seeing all of my kiddos on Monday!
