Greetings! Welcome back from Thanksgiving break. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday spending time with family and friends, eating good foods, and maybe doing a little shopping. It seems that the excitement for the students was the return of the elf. As it turns out, an elf made an appearance in our room today. His name his Jingles and he will be watching us until Christmas. The students are quite excited about this.
It was a crazy morning filled with Music and Guidance. But once we got started and settled, we were off and running.
In Religion class today we reviewed the season of Advent. We know that during this time we wait for Jesus. We light candles on an Advent wreath to remind us that Jesus is the Light of the World.
We started a new story today in Language Arts. With that came new oral vocabulary words and new phonics skills. Today we blended and read words with the digraphs ch, tch, wh, and ph. We also learned new sight words. Our strategy this week is rereading. We read and reread Which Way on the Map? We ended class by talking about irregular plural nouns (i.e. men, children, mice, etc.)
In Math class today we learned to count by 2's to 20. We will continue to practice this skill every morning during our Math Meeting.
Finally, we visited the Secret Santa shop to make our lists. We will return tomorrow to make our purchases. Please remember to return the shopping list with money tomorrow.
