In Religion class this week, we learned that Jesus taught his followers how to pray and taught them the Our Father. We then took a deeper look at the Our Father and talked about what we are saying as we pray the prayer.
During Language Arts this week, we learned how to blend and read long o words. We also learned to read and spell contractions. While doing this, we sorted words based on their contractions. Here is how our word sort turned out:
Also during Language Arts, we talked about sequence. We know it is important to retell a story by putting the events in the correct order. After discussing and practicing all of these skills it was time to put them to the test as we read The Big Circle. The students just loved this story about dinosaurs; they waited all week to read it! You will be able to hear it on Monday night. I hope you enjoy it as much as they did.
In addition to practicing all of these reading skills, we also learned and practiced new grammar and writing skills. We practiced writing days, months, and holidays correctly. We also began learning how to write steps in a process. Our first task is writing how to make a PBJ sandwich.
We worked on two new skills in Math class this week. First we practiced counting by 10's to one hundred. Next, we learned the subtracting 1 facts. We will continue to practice these new skills daily in Math class.
Our focus for Social Studies this week was Thanksgiving. We read On the Mayflower and talked about the Pilgrims' journey aboard the Mayflower. With the new facts we learned, the students created their very own Mayflower books to share with you.
In Science class, we explored habitats around the world. We looked at oceans, forests, and deserts and talked about the plants and animals that live there.
Finally, it was time for Art class. We made turkey centerpieces for our Thanksgiving luncheon next Wednesday. Here are pictures of our turkey centerpieces and the turkeys we made last week:
Have a fantastic weekend!
