On the 3rd of December

Welcome back, everyone! I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving. The students really seemed to enjoy their time off. 

We began our day by wrapping up our talk about Advent. We reviewed the meaning behind the season as well the the meaning of the Advent wreath. We also began our Advent calendar today. Each day, a student will remove a picture from our Advent calendar. We will talk about the picture and how it relates to Jesus. We then will hear a story from the Bible. Finally, we will add the symbol to a bulletin board as we wait for Jesus. For instance, today we added three symbols: a quarter, grapes, and smiley face. The quarter reminds us to share this holiday season, the grapes represent Jesus' first miracle, and the smiley face reminds us to follow Jesus' rules. Here is a picture of our Advent calendar. 


In Language Arts class today, we learned how to read and spell contractions. We also practiced our sight words. Finally, we reviewed writing days of the week, months, and holidays. 

In Math class, we located numbers on a hundred number chart. 

Just a reminder that we will be visiting the Secret Santa shop tomorrow. Please send in money in a marked envelope. We also have gym class tomorrow.
