Picture Day!

Happy Picture Day! The students looked so beautiful and handsome today. They smiled so pretty. I can't wait to see the pictures! 

After having our pictures taken, it was time to get to work. We began our day in Religion class. Today we read the story of Jesus' birth. We learned that he was born in a stable in the city of Bethlehem. 

During Language Arts class, we worked on our fluency and comprehension skills. We partner read a story in our decodable reader booklets. We also read and discussed our story Flip! Finally we worked in literacy centers. Each week the students will work in three literacy centers: word work, writing, and reading. With each center students will practice their decoding, writing, and fluency skills. 

In Math class today, we learned how to write addition number sentences. First we put linking cubes on an apple worksheet, then we drew a picture to show the linking cubes, and finally we wrote our number sentence. 

We ended the day by talking about Johnny Appleseed. This kicked off our celebration of apples. Each day we will do a different apple activity leading to a very big and very special activity on Friday. 

Have a wonderful night!
