Fun With Similes!

 Greetings! Happy Wednesday! I hope all are well. I will say this warm weather is so nice. I remember last year being so cold and dark in April. It is so nice to see the sun shining these days! 

In Religion class today, we looked at the Liturgy of the Word. We learned about each of the three readings we hear at Sunday Mass and our responses to each reading. We also talked about response to the petitions. 

In Language Arts, we practiced using our oral vocabulary words in sentences. We also practiced reading words with silent letters, compound words, our sight words and vocabulary words. After all that individual practice, it was time to put everything together to build our fluency and comprehension. We partner read a story in our decodable readers. We also read a story in our anthology called Rain School, a realistic fiction story about children attending school in Africa. Following that story we completed pages in our close reading companion. Finally, we practiced using indefinite pronouns in sentences and using commas in sentences. 

Today in Language Arts we also learned about similes. To help us, we created a rainbow of similes. I was so impressed with their creativity in doing this. 

In Math class today we again practiced solving patterns. We used our number chart and thinking skills to help us with them. 

In Spanish class today, we learned more words for clothing items. Today we learned the words for jacket, coat, gloves, skirt, shorts, and boots. We then added these words to the ones we learned last week to practice them. 

Finally, it was time for our writing project for the week. This week we wrote about what it would be like to be a kite. We then designed a kite to go with our writing. I'll post pictures tomorrow. 

Have a great night!
