Busy Bees!

Greetings! Happy Friday! I hope everyone was able to avoid the rain this morning. It sure was coming down hard when we started our day. 

We began our day by going to Mass. Today at Mass Msgr. Lockard reminded us that we need to be like St. Paul and be kind to others and tell others about Jesus. We also need to draw strength from the Eucharist. 

We wrapped up yet another week of learning in Language Arts. Today we used our oral vocabulary words in sentences, spelled and read words with silent letters by using our whiteboards, read compound words and used them in sentences, and wrote sentences using our sight words. We then talked about similes; we found similes in sentences and talked about what they mean. After that, we switched our focus to reading. We partner read a story from our decodable reader booklets and read a short nonfiction piece about storms. After reading the story about storms, we completed pages in our close reading companion book. Finally, we practiced finding indefinite pronouns in sentences. 

In Math class today, we learned about rectangular prisms. We discovered that all sides of a rectangular prism are rectangles and that they have 6 faces. We then sorted all of the geometric solids we have studied into various groups. 

Then it was time for Science class. We first talked about various simple machines and how they help us. As we did this, we completed a flip book. Next, we planted garden sprout seeds. We will continue to water them and watch them go over the next few weeks. 

Finally, it was time for Art class. Today we made bees out of paper plates. I'll post pictures of them on Monday once everything has dried. 

Enjoy your weekend!
