We began the New Year by attending Mass to honor the Holy Name of Jesus. We remember that Jesus' name is one that is to be respected and honored.
In Religion class, we wrapped up our study of the Holy Spirit helping the church to grow. We then talked about the leaders of the church. We learned that Jesus picked Peter to be the leader of the Apostles. We also discussed how bishops lead the church today.
Language Arts class was full of new learning this week. We learned how to decode and read final ng, nk words and compound words. We also learned new sight words. We put this new knowledge to work as we read Ruby in Her Own Time. As we read this story this week, we focused on the plot of the story. In Grammar this week we focused on verbs that add -s to them, and in writing we wrote the steps in building a snowman.
To add more fun to Language Arts, we baked up some art projects. We made cupcakes full of compound words. We also made 'synonym' rolls when we talked about synonyms. Look at our tasty treats:
During Math class this week, we focused on several new skills. First we practiced spelling the numbers 0-10. We played a version of Hangman to help us do that. Next, we learned about pairs and how two things make a pair. Then, we created a bar graph and answered questions about it. We also practiced adding two two-digit numbers using dimes and pennies. We ended the week identifying ordinal position to the 26th.
For Gym class this week, we played our favorite 'Alligator, Alligator'. In Social Studies we talked about the weather and seasons. We drew pictures of something we do in each season. During Science class we talked about the three phases of water and how it can change from a solid to a liquid to a gas. This discussion led us to learn about evaporation.
We ended the week with Art class. We made snowmen. They look so cute!
Enjoy your weekend!
