From Sun to Snow!

Happy Thursday! It was really the tale of two days. It started off bright and sunny but by the time we left it was cloudy and snowy. I am sure the students are loving the snow tonight! 

In Religion class today we talked about things the early church members did. We learned that they prayed together, ate together, and shared their things. It did not take us long to realize that they did the same things we do today. 

In Language Arts class, we learned new oral vocabulary words and made predictions as we read a folktale about a foolish rabbit. We then reviewed -dge words by reading a decodable reader. Then it was time to learn how to spell and read words with inflected endings where the final e is dropped before the ending is added. Next we talked about cause and effect and found examples in the story The Nice Mitten

In Math class today we used pattern blocks to cover a design. We then made a bar graph showing how many of each pattern block we used. It is neat watching the students cover the design. They all covered it in a different way. 

In Social Studies class today we talked about the seasons and weather. For each season we described the weather and talked about things we do in each one. 

Finally, it was time for Gym. Gym will be different until the new gym floor is installed. So today, we danced to classics like YMCA, Chicken Dance, and Hokey Pokey. We were smiling, laughing, and exercising right in our classroom! 

Enjoy the night!
