Earth Day Fun!

 Greetings! Happy Thursday! Well, it sure was a white Earth Day. Maybe this was winter's last hoorah! 

In Religion class today we talked about different things we do at Mass. We talked about how we pray, sing, and listen as we celebrate the Eucharist. 

We wrapped up another week of learning in Language Arts today. We used our oral vocabulary words in sentences, read words with the vowel variant au, augh, aw, al, and a and words with vowel team syllables. We also wrote sentences using our sight words. Then, we worked on fluency and comprehension as we partner read a story in our decodable readers and a poem. After reading the poem, we completed pages in our close reading companion. Finally, we took our weekly assessment and used possessive pronouns in sentences. 

This morning we finished our Earth Day writing we started yesterday. The children had fun creating The Lorax. Have a look:

In Math class today we practiced identifying the greatest and least number in a set and ordered numbers from least to greatest and greatest to least. We also learned about the comparison signs < and >. We said that they are like an alligator's mouth and that the mouth always opens to the bigger number. 

For Gym class today, we exercised to GoNoodle videos. They had fun and were really sweating when class was done. 

In Social Studies today we talked about how certain foods get to market. We looked at orange juice in particular and wrote the steps needed to get orange juice to a store. 

Then, we had a special Science class today. We wrapped up our chapter on motion. We reviewed pushing and pulling, magnets, and simple machines. Next week, we will begin our unit on plants. 

Have a great weekend!
