Fun with Solid Shapes!

 Greetings! Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful fall day today!

We began our day by going over to church for Adoration. We spent some quiet time praying and talking to Jesus. Many prayed the rosary today. Once we returned to the classroom, together we prayed the second decade of the Glorious Mysteries. 

We continued with our week of learning in Language Arts. Today, we reviewed our oral vocabulary words from yesterday and learned three new words (tranquil, hibernate, and tolerate). We then worked on making predictions as we read a nonfiction piece about animals in the desert. Following that, we used our letter tiles to spell and read words with end blends. After that, we learned how to blend and read words with the inflectional ending -ing. We ended the morning by practicing using our sight words in sentences. 

We stopped our class early today so that we could begin practices for our All Saints' Day prayer service. We are looking forward to praying with everyone next week. 

This afternoon in Language Arts we focused on building our comprehension skills. This week we are focusing on main idea and key details. We reread The Best Spot and wrote about its main idea and details from the story. We did the same thing as we read our decodable reader. 

In Math class today, we identified the six solid shapes: cone, cylinder, cube, rectangular prism, pyramid, and sphere. With each shape, we experimented to see if it could stack, slide, or roll. 

This afternoon we met with our Faith Families. We spent time getting to know one another. We will begin our Faith Family masses this week. 

We ended our day with Pumpkin Fun! Today, we looked at the life cycle of a pumpkin. 

Have a terrific night!
