Lots of Cuddles!

Greetings! Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. The students were quite excited to tell me all about their weekends. They seemed to be action-packed and filled with memories. 

In Religion class today we talked about how the church honors saints. We looked at the lives of some of the saints and how they were really close to God. We also took time to review the life of our classroom saint, St. Veronica. 

In Language Arts class we worked in our literacy centers to build our fluency and comprehension skills. We then made a gigantic ice cream cone. On each scoop, we wrote something that we learned in Language Arts and Math this year as well as a favorite memory. Here is a picture: 



We ended the morning with a special Science class. Today we talked about the different parts of a plant and their jobs. We read the story The Tiny Seed to help us identify each part and its job. We then labeled a diagram. 

In Math class today we learned how to add money amounts to find the total cost and how to subtract money amounts to find the change. We are getting much better with money. 

We also had a special Social Studies class today. Today we learned about some of America's heroes including Sacajawea, Harriet Tubman, Susan B. Anthony, Cesar Chavez, and Martin Luther King, Jr. 

In addition we had a special Art class today. We made a pineapple using our fingerprints. Here is a finished product. Doesn't it look delicious? 


Finally, it was time for our Snuggle and Cuddle reading. The students read in partners their books and snuggled with their animals. They really enjoyed having a buddy on their desk all day. Here are pictures of the books and the stuffed animals. 


Just a reminder that tomorrow is our game day. Don't forget your board game!
