What an astounding Wordly Wise Dress Up Day!

We all had a blast with a mammoth vocabulary explosion in our room today. The girls were clever and creative with their costumes, and we were all entertained by this fun day. More photos below.

The hardships of the Oregon Trail are coming to life as we continue the wagon train journey alongside Sam, his family, and Ranger the rescue dog. Ask your daughter what she thinks of life on the Trail. In math, the girls are adding and subtracting with nice accuracy. We will assess next week and move on to multiplication and division. We are also working on word problems.

See if your daughter can beat you at this question....

Using each digit only once, create two 3-digit numbers with the smallest possible difference.

This week I gave each of the girls a little Gratitude Journal. We are writing about three things we feel grateful for each day. Did you know that focusing on our gratitude can actually make us happier people? Read more here if you are interested. We will continue writing in these journals throughout Advent to remain focused on joy and gratitude during these busy seasons.
