Welcome back, everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. Today was a busy, crazy, action-packed day for us to begin the month of December.
The students were greeted today with an Elf on the Shelf. We named him Jingles. We talked about how Jingles will be watching us in school and will report to Santa whether or not we were fantastic first graders. I'll post pictures tomorrow of Jingles.
In Religion class today, we continued our discussion about Advent. We talked about ways we can be light for others this Advent and reviewed the Advent wreath.
During Language Arts class, we learned to blend and read long u and long e words. We practiced spelling these words using our letter tiles and reading these words by reading our decodable reader. We also talked about the author's purpose for writing a story.
That was all we managed to get in before going home because of the weather. Please remember that tomorrow is Wednesday and we will have gym class. Also, we will be visiting the Secret Santa shop where students can make their purchases tomorrow. Please send in any money in an envelope.
Have a safe and warm evening!
