The Marks of the Church!

 Greetings! Happy Monday! Happy Earth Day! I hope everyone had a great start to their week. 

In Religion class today, we learned about the four marks of the church. We learned that the church is one (there is only one church), holy (created by Jesus), Catholic (universal), and Apostolic (teachings have been passed down for centuries). We created a poster to help us remember them. 

We began a new week of learning in Language Arts; this week we are reading about people who help us. We began by learning our five new oral vocabulary words (inspire, distance, swiftly, decision, and respect). We then worked on rereading for details as we listened to a folktale about how the moon was put in the sky. Following that, we learned how to blend and read words with the vowel variant au, a, al, aw, and augh. Next, we learned our new sight words and vocabulary words for the week. Then it was time to practice our skills as we read All Kinds of Helpers. We finished the morning by learning about possessive pronouns. 

In honor of Earth Day, we read The Lorax and talked about ways to help the Earth. We sorted examples based on whether they help the Earth or not. We glue them on a trunk of a Truffula tree. We will continue our Earth Day celebration tomorrow. 

In Math class today, we learned how to make a tally graph. We first illustrated our favorite sport. Then, we sorted our pictures. We counted each group and made tally marks showing how many liked each sport. Using our tally graph, we made a picture graph to show our data. Finally, we answered questions based on our data. 

We ended our day with our ABC Celebration. Today, we played BINGO while sitting on our beach towels. We had lots of fun! 

Have a marvelous night!
