Honoring Mary!

Greetings! I hope everyone is having a nice weekend! We had a great day on Friday to end our week. 

We began our day with Mass. Today was the feast of the Immaculate Conception, a day where we honor Mary. Today we are reminded to follow Mary's example of listening to God. 

In Language Arts class we reviewed the oral vocabulary words we learned on Thursday and learned three new words as well. Then we continued to work on making predictions as we read a short fantasy story about a gigantic turnip. Next, we reviewed blending and reading long i words; today we used our letter tiles to help us. After that, we discussed plurals. We practiced making a word plural by adding -s and used that word in a sentence. Finally, we reviewed our sight words. 

Math class was full of learning today. We began by exploring the doubles facts. To help us remember the answer we learned a nifty little rap. We will be saying this rap over the next few weeks to help us with these facts. We then explored the doubles plus 1 facts. 

As one student said "This was the best Science class!" Today we learned how to group objects in a variety of ways. One way was whether or not an object floats. We picked 7 objects around the classroom, predicted whether they would sink or float, and then actually did the experiment. It was a fun time! 

We ended our day with Art class. Today we made Christmas trees using paint. They look so pretty. I'll post pictures next week once everything has dried. 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
