Teacher Appreciation Day!

 Greetings! Happy Tuesday! Today was a busy morning and a relaxing afternoon. 

In Religion class this morning we talked about the difference between disciple and apostle. We learned that Jesus called 12 men to be his Apostles. We also talked about how Jesus sent his Apostles out into the world to tell others about Jesus and God's love. 

In Language Arts, we reviewed our oral vocabulary words, read long e words, and read and defined words with prefixes. Then our focused switched to fluency and comprehension. We partner read a story in our decodable reader booklets. We also read Animal Teams, a nonfiction story about animals working together. Following that story, we completed pages in our close reading companion that focused on finding details in the story. 

We ended our morning with some groundhog fun. We wrote about whether or not we want Phil to see his shadow tomorrow. 

This afternoon, in honor of Teacher Appreciation Day, we watched a movie. The students really enjoyed Happy Feet. 

Have a great night!
