Slipper Day!

Greetings! Welcome to Read Across America Week 2020! This is one of my favorite weeks as we get to celebrate the life of one of my favorite authors: Dr. Seuss. Today, was slipper day in honor of The Sleep Book. The students loved wearing them all day. 

In Religion class today we looked at the final 7 Stations of the Cross. We talked about each one and colored our Station booklets. Tomorrow we will pray the Stations at 2:00. 

We began Language Arts by working in our literacy centers. Then we began a new week of learning. We learned our new oral vocabulary words (distinguish, classify, organize, startled, and entire). We then worked on making predictions as we listened to a classic folktale. From there we learned how to blend and read r-controlled ar words. Following that we learned our new sight words and vocabulary words. Then it was time to put our knowledge to the test as we read A Barn Full of Hats, a fantasy story about animals finding hats. 

This afternoon we learned how to join sentences using and, but, or, so, and because. To help us remember the sound of ar we made a pirate holding a chest of ar words. Here is what it looks like: 

Finally, we read Oh! The Places You'll Go. Afterwards we illustrated what we want to be when we grow up. We just have to put the finishing touches on that tomorrow. 

In Penmanship this week we will be focusing on m and M. 

In Spanish class today we learned the names of pets: cat, dog, bird, fish, and hamster. 

In Math class today we practiced adding two digit numbers without regrouping. We learned that we can solve them by drawing a picture or just adding the ones and tens. We will continue to practice this tomorrow. 

Tomorrow is Career day. The students may wear their dress for their future career. This does not need to be over the uniform. Have a great night!
