Decorating a Christmas Tree!

Greetings! Happy Tuesday! It was another dark, rainy day today. All I kept thinking about is that I am glad this wasn't snow. Hopefully, the sun will come out tomorrow (sorry for the pun). 

Our day started off a little funny. Jingles, our classroom elf, decided to use the tissue box as a bed. He does look comfortable, doesn't he?

In Religion class today we talked about how Jesus taught in the Temple in Jerusalem. 

We began Language Arts class by working in our literacy centers. We then picked up where we left off yesterday. We practiced reading soft c and g words. Next, we sorted words based on their g sound. After that we learned how to blend and read words with -dge. Following that we learned our new sight words. Finally, we read the folktale The Nice Mitten. 

This afternoon in Language Arts we learned about past and future tense verbs; we practiced writing verbs in past and future tense. Next, we wrote the final steps in how to decorate a tree. 

In Math class today we put numbers in order from least to greatest and from greatest to least. We also identified one more, two more, one less, and two less of a given number. 

After working hard all day, it was time to have some Christmas fun. Today, the students got to decorate our classroom tree. I gave them the ornaments and they all got to put them on. We also added the star and manger. Doesn't it look pretty? 

And, as promised, here is a picture of the Christmas trees we made in Art class on Friday. 

Have a great night!
