Greetings on this chilly night! It is hard to believe that only two days ago it was 50 degrees outside. This up and down weather is quite strange.
In Religion class today we talked about how Jesus died and rose to new life. Yes, we know that it is almost Christmas, so it is strange to be talking about the Easter story this time of year. However, it fits perfectly into our Religion curriculum.
In Language Arts class, we reviewed the oral vocabulary words we learned on Monday and then learned three new words (eventually, timid, and foolish). Next, we worked on making predictions as we read a folktale about a foolish rabbit. Following that we practiced segmenting words into sounds by using our sound boxes. Then we used our letter tiles to spell and read soft c and soft g words. After that we learned how to spell words with inflectional endings when the final e is dropped. Finally, we practiced using our sight words in sentences.
This afternoon in Language Arts we reread The Nice Mitten and wrote cause and effect examples from the story. We did the same thing as we read our decodable reader.
In Math class today we used our critical thinking skills to solve problems.
This afternoon was spent enjoying beautiful Christmas music performed by our very own Holy Name School band. We were then entertained by a wonderful play presented by the Intermediate department. Job well done to everyone involved! It was excellent!
Tomorrow is now a jean day. Students may wear jeans, sneakers, and an appropriate shirt to school!
