Helping Earth!

 Greetings! Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a great day! 

In Religion class today, we reviewed the Apostolic succession. We talked about how Jesus is the leader of the church, how the pope is the visual leader of the church, and how the bishops carry on the work of the Apostles. 

We continued with our week of learning in Language Arts. We began by answering questions using our oral vocabulary words. Next, we used our letter tiles to spell and read vowel variant au, al, a, augh, and aw words. Following that, we learned how to blend and read vowel team syllable words. Then, we practiced using our sight words and vocabulary words in sentences. We ended the morning focusing on building our comprehension; this week we are focusing on author's purpose. We made a pie to help us learn the three reasons why an author writes a story: P (persuade), I (inform), E (entertain). Using that knowledge we reread our story from yesterday and talked about why the author wrote it. We did the same as we read our decodable reader. 

This afternoon in Language Arts we practiced using possessive pronouns in sentences. 

In Math class today, we continued to practice making tally graphs and picture graphs. Today, we pulled a colored linking cube from a bag and recorded the color using a tally mark. We repeated this 12 times. Using our tally chart data, we made a picture graph. Then, we noted observations about our graph. We are really enjoying graphs! 

For our ABC celebration today, we focused on crafts. We made a Lorax Earth and wrote about a way we can help our planet. 

Have a terrific night!
