An Antonym Picnic!

 Greetings! Well, whoever wished for more snow got their wish today. The children were excited to see snowflakes falling. I can't say the same for the teacher! 

In Religion class today we talked about how the Mass is the church's greatest celebration. 

In Language Arts, we reviewed our oral vocabulary words, read words with the vowel variant au, augh, al, and aw and words with vowel team syllables, and reviewed our sight words and vocabulary words. We then spent time learning about antonyms. To help with this we had an 'ant'onym picnic; on each ant we wrote pairs of antonyms. Have a look! 

Then our focused switched to fluency and comprehension. We partner read a story in our decodable reader before reading our story Meet Rosina. After reading that story we completed pages in our close reading companion. Finally, we practiced using possessive pronouns in sentences. 

In Math class today we practiced finding more or less than a given number. To help us, each child was given a spinner. Working social distance style, pairs spun their spinners and worked together to find more or less than a given number. They had loads of fun doing this. 

In Spanish today we learned the words for hat, pants, shirt, dress, socks, and shoes. 

In honor of Earth Day tomorrow, we read The Lorax and talked about ways we can help Earth. After our discussion we wrote about it. We are in the process of adding our writing to a craft. We will finish that up tomorrow morning. 

Have a great night!
