Dance Celebration!

 Greetings! Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone had a great day and dodged the raindrops today. 

In Religion class today, we wrapped up our chapter on Jesus beginning the church. 

In Language Arts class, we reviewed our oral vocabulary words, read words with the vowel variants a, al, au, augh, and aw, vowel team syllable words, and our sight words. We also spent time today learning about antonyms. To practice identifying antonyms, the students went fishing. The used a "fishing pole" to catch antonym pairs. 

After our antonyms practice, we spent time working on our fluency and comprehension. We partner read a story from our decodable reader booklets. We also read Meet Rosina from our literature anthology. After reading this story, we wrote about the author's purpose for writing it. 

This afternoon in Language Arts, we practiced using possessive pronouns in sentences. We also spent time developing our writing skills. We read Owl Moon and used that story as a guide to write a personal narrative paragraph. We also did some creative writing. We pretended we were a bug and wrote about what we would do, what we have, and what we can do. We added a bug craft to our writing. 

In Math class today, we used our critical thinking skills to solve problems with graphs. I was amazed at how well the children could explain their thinking today. 

We ended our day with our ABC Celebration. Today, we had a dance party, dancing to classic hits like the Hokey Pokey, Chicken Dance, and YMCA. 

Have a great night!
