Connections in Reading!

Greetings on this fall-like day. I will say that the cooler morning was a bit shocking today. However, it reminded me to appreciate our seasonal changes. Fall is such a beautiful time of the year. 

In Religion today we learned that prayer is talking to and listening to God. We also learned that the Sign of the Cross is a prayer to the Blessed Trinity. We practiced making the Sign of the Cross, too. 

We began Language Arts class by reviewing the oral vocabulary words we learned yesterday and then learned three new words (companion, popular, and groom). Following that, we worked on visualizing as we read a nonfiction piece about pets. Next, we used our letter tiles to spell and read words with l-blends. After that, we learned that when we add -s to the end of a noun we make it plural; we practiced reading -s plural words and using them in sentences. Then we practiced using our sight words in sentences. After a quick dance break, it was time to read. We reread A Pig for Cliff  and wrote details from the story. We then read our decodable reader and answered questions about its details. 

This afternoon in Language Arts we worked on identifying statements. We also practiced writing a sentence. 

In Math class today, we used our critical thinking skills to solve problems. We looked at a set of numbers and had to pick three of those numbers to make a number bond. 

Here's a story to show the sign of the times: As we were reading about pets today, the story mentioned about how an iguana can be 6 feet long. Someone shouted out that that is how far apart our desks are. They understand what 6 feet looks like. Who would have thought? 

Have a great night!
