In Religion class this week we prayed the Luminous Mysteries. We also attended the Living Rosary. Our friends in third, fourth, and fifth grade did a beautiful job leading us as we prayed the rosary. Also in Religion class this week, we talked about how John the Baptist prepared people for Jesus' coming. In addition, we studied how Jesus shared God's love with everyone and how Jesus helped all those in need.
In Language Arts class, we learned to blend and read short u words as well as words with final blends. Our story this week, Animal Park, took us on a safari as we read about the various animals that live there. While reading this story we worked on identifying cause and effect as well as our sight words. In Grammar this week, we learned all about questions including how to write questions correctly. Finally, in writing, we practiced writing a three part sentence using descriptive words.
During Math class this week we used our geoboards to make rectangles. We also learned how to write addition number sentences. In addition we learned new doubles facts; we used our linking cubes to help us find the answers to these facts. We also made our very own student fact cards which we will use to help us learn these facts. Finally, we used a new math manipulative this week: pattern blocks. We learned to identify pattern blocks by their color and their shape. We also used them to make repeating patterns.
We learned about Christopher Columbus this week in Social Studies. We made a small booklet about his life. We also made a poster of his three ships. Here's a poster:
In Science class, we talked about the four basic needs of animals: food, water, air, and shelter. Next students drew an animal and then drew the basic needs for that animal.
Finally, it was time for Art class. In the spirit of Halloween we made mummies. This is one of my favorite art projects to do with the students.
