The First Snow!

Greetings on this snowy Tuesday in November. Needless to say, the snow was a big topic of conversation in our classroom today. We did take a few minutes to look and admire it. The wonder and amazement in their eyes is precious. I can't say I had the same reaction the students did though. 

In Religion class today we talked about how Jesus invited people to be his followers. We read the story of Peter and Andrew leaving their nets and following Jesus. We also talked about how Jesus wants us to follow him. 

In Language Arts class today, we reviewed our oral vocabulary words, words with digraphs th, sh, and ng, and closed syllable words. We also reviewed our sight words. After all of that reviewing it was time to work on our fluency and comprehension. We partner read a story from our decodable readers as well as the story Nell's Books. After that we read a short nonfiction piece about kids helping in their community and completed pages in our close reading companion. We finished the morning by reviewing how to write proper nouns in sentences. 

In Math class today we learned new position words: behind, in front of, above, below, up, down, near, and far. We looked at pictures and used these words to identify the place of the people in them. The students especially liked doing this for the circus picture. 

Just a reminder that our Spelling test is tomorrow. Have a great night! Enjoy the snow!
