This week has been loads of fun, but Bridge is passing by too quickly! We TAs have noted we wish time would slow down a little bit!
Thursday we paid a visit to the Asian Art Museum, which was incredible. Kids were fascinated by the stone Buddhas and the intricately decorated dishes in the museum. The majority of the students declared that the Samurai section of the museum was the best part, as well as the exhibit where students could wear Samurai armor or a kimono. One student offered facetiously that her favorite part was the glass elevator which looked over a large portion of the museum.
In math, girls have been working on converting fractions to decimals and vice versa. Recently, students began working on percentages as well.
English is heating up as Because of Winn Dixie draws to a close and girls conquer difficult topics like slavery and their own talents, a subject continued in the wellness class, which creates a safe space for "girl talk," so students can open up to talk about what makes them uncomfortable, and good ways to erase this discomfort.
Students have nearly finished learning all the moves to "Burning Up" by the Jonas Brothers in Dance, and Yoga is just as fun when Ms. Saddler teaches girls how to stretch and relax their muscles. Computer class is wrapping up with the "My Life" Powerpoint project, and girls are having fun playing with different fonts and backgrounds now that the essential writing part is finished.
Bridge has been so much fun; we're looking forward to the next week, but we also wish it hadn't come so quickly.
