Greetings and Happy Monday! It sounded like all of the children loved seeing the snow yesterday. Many were so excited to tell me about their adventures playing in it. I wish I could say that my enthusiasm was as great as theirs.
In Religion class today we talked about the season of Advent. We learned that Advent is a time waiting for Jesus to come. We light candles on an Advent wreath; those candles help us remember that Jesus is the Light of the World. We then made our own paper Advent wreath. We used our handprints for the leaves and added the purple and pink candles. I sent home the flames. I encourage you to glue them on each week during the season. In my rush at the end of the day, I forgot to take pictures of the finished ones. :(
In Language Arts class we reviewed our oral vocabulary words. We also reviewed words with the digraphs sh, th, and ng by using our letter tiles to spell words. Next we reviewed closed syllable words. We practiced dividing the word into syllables, identifying the closed syllables, reading the word, and using the word in a sentence. Lastly, we reviewed our sight words by reading the word wall. Then it was time to read. We partner read our decodable reader story. We then read a nonfiction selection in our anthologies about kids helping in the community. Finally, we practiced writing proper nouns correctly.
In Math class today we learned new math facts: the subtracting 0 facts and subtracting a number from itself facts. Once we discovered the pattern to each set of facts, we found these facts to be simple to learn.
We ended our day by talking about the Pilgrims. We sorted activities Pilgrim children did to activities children today do. We then created a Pilgrim and wrote about something we would do if we lived back then.
Just a reminder that book orders are due tomorrow. Stay warm!
