First Week of Fourth Grade

The first week of Fourth Grade is over, the year has begun!

My daughter had a light schedule, which turned out to be a very good idea. She was exhausted from her vacation with grandma, and once fell asleep while doing math. The focus for the first week was Reading Comprehension (Mary Poppins), and Math (numbers, including huge numbers). She even got a chance to do some real-life math helping out at a fundraiser booth! There were a few other lessons- like an impromptu history/science lesson on locusts. We discovered a nearby playground that has an extensive trail leading from it- and I can't wait to go back! We love hiking. She also had an important Choir performance, and the kids did such a terrific job!

For the rest of this month, she will have a gradual increase in classwork (starting Grammar and her Science curriculum, for example.) By mid-September, all her coursework should be in full-swing.
