In Religion class today we began our study on the events of Holy Week. Today's focus was on Palm Sunday, Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. We read about how the people laid palm branches and their cloaks on the ground as Jesus rode into the city. We made our own mosaic palm branch as a reminder of this event. We will continue to look at Holy Week all week in Religion class.
We began Language Arts class by reviewing our oral vocabulary words. We then used our whiteboards to spell r-controlled er, ir, ur, and or words along with words with the inflectional ending -er. We practiced our sight words and vocabulary words too. After that we partner read a story in our decodable reader booklets and Kitten's First Full Moon, the story we read on Friday. We finished the morning by reading a nonfiction piece about the moon and completing pages in our close reading companion.
This afternoon we reviewed adjectives. We wrote examples of adjectives for number, size, shape, color, and much more. We then practiced finding adjectives in sentences. Finally, we wrote sentences using these describing words. We ended our day with a fun Easter writing activity. Today the students were given a Peep and wrote about things they would like to do with their new pal. They were very creative in their writing.
In Math class today, we reviewed our calendar including days of the week and months of the year. This came as no challenge to the students since we do calendar activities every day. We also practiced counting by 10's beginning from 1. We will continue to practice this every day!
Here is a picture from Friday's Art class! Enjoy!
