Greetings! Happy Tuesday! Today was a busy morning and a relaxing afternoon. We worked hard all morning learning new things so that this afternoon we could enjoy our Christmas Concert and Play!
We began our day by going to Adoration. We spent quiet time talking with Jesus asking him to help others and to get ready to welcome him at Christmas time.
Once we got back to the classroom, we had Math class. Today we continued practicing counting to 20 by making 10 and then counting on. The students are great with this; they really understand how to count on.
Then we jumped into Language Arts class. We began by working in our literacy centers. Then we reviewed the oral vocabulary words we learned yesterday and learned three new words (grasped, spied, and assist). After that we worked on making predictions as we read a fable about a man and a giant turnip. Then we practiced reading and spelling long i words by using our letter tiles. We followed that up by learning about plurals when a word ends in an e; all we need to do is add an -s. Next we practiced our sight words by using them in sentences. We finished the morning by rereading Time to Plant and sequencing the events in the story. After lunch we read our decodable reader and answered questions about it.
Then it was time to enjoy some Christmas music. Our beginner, intermediate, and advanced bands entertained us first. They did a wonderful job playing some Christmas favorites. I was amazed at how great they sounded for being such a young age. Then the Junior High department performed The Christmas Carol. And what a show that was! From the singing to the acting to everything it was a fantastic show. Kudos to everyone involved in today's performances. It truly was a magical afternoon!
