Elf Writing Fun!

 Greetings! Welcome back after our flexible instruction day. Many thanks again for helping with everything yesterday. 

At Mass today, Fr. Brian encouraged us to wait with joy for the coming of Jesus. 

We began a new week over learning in Language Arts; this week we are reading folktales. We began by learning two new oral vocabulary words (hero and tale). Then, we reviewed reading soft c and soft g words. Following that we learned our new sight words (any, from, happy, once, so, upon). After that, we read The Nice Mitten which helped us practice reading soft c, soft, g, and our sight words in sentences. Finally, we learned about past and future tense verbs. 

In Math class today, we started to learn subtraction strategies. We used our number lines to count back to solve problems. 

Then, it was time for some Writing fun. We made an elf and wrote about what we would do if we were an elf. 

We ended our day with Art class. Today, the students dipped pom-pom balls in paint to decorate a Christmas ornament. I will post pictures once the paint has dried. 

Here is a picture of our classroom Christmas tree. 

And here is a picture of Jingles. He brought the students candy canes today. 

Have a great weekend!
